W.T.F.?!?!?!?
squirrel starves to death in Dubya’s pants.
I think I’m gonna 1] be sick or 2] look around for the pod.
PRESIDENT BUSH: Sounds like kind of a familiar refrain here—saying “bring it on,” kind of tough talk, you know, that sent the wrong signal to people. I learned some lessons about expressing myself maybe in a little more sophisticated manner—you know, “wanted dead or alive,” that kind of talk. I think in certain parts of the world it was misinterpreted, and so I learned from that.
And listen to the geldings whinny in recognition of one of their own:
What happened to the Texas swagger?
Maybe it went the way of his poll numbers. Maybe this is a newly reflective President Bush. Or maybe the first lady had her say.
Whatever the case, when Mr. Bush said at a news conference on Thursday night that he regretted some personal mistakes, like declaring “bring ‘em on” in 2003, he seemed a little like the chastened husband who finally admitted he had done something wrong. Whether it worked or not depends on whom you ask.
...This is part and parcel of the influence of Josh — making sure you don’t go out there and thumb your nose at the entire world.”
“Josh” is Joshua B. Bolten, the new White House chief of staff, who was reared inside the Beltway, educated at Princeton and has never uttered a Texas colloquialism...
Well, I dunno if this suggestion has sufficient subtle aestheticism, delicacy, sophistication or savoir faire for Mister Princeton Pants, but what springs to my mind involves tar, feathers, rail, assembly.

Kerry may have been a putz
but this one’s a yutz
Dear President Bush;
Yesterday, the Washington Post reported you to have said, “Instead of people trying to sneak across this border here, doesn’t it make sense to have them come and do jobs Americans aren’t doing on a legal basis so that the pressure is off our border?”
If that actually makes sense, then you had better phone Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and tell him “We give up—you win” so that the pressure is off our military. Then contact Usama bin Laden and tell him that Mrs. Bush is already wearing the burka and you have the jizya tax all ready for him to come and collect so that the pressure is off our country. Next, please urge Congress to pass a National Uniform Code like Iran’s and notify the IRS they’re now working for al Qaeda so that the pressure is off our citizens.
After all we’ve been through together in the last 6 years, I am surprised that you would want your presidential legacy to be the destruction of the American nation.
Regretfully,
Moonbatologist Claire

Hey -- *someone* hadda do it
MB Claire—doing jobs Mexicans can’t do
Good evening. I’ve asked for a few minutes of your time to discuss a matter of national importance—the reform of America’s immigration system.
The issue of immigration stirs intense emotions, and in recent weeks, Americans have seen those emotions on display. On the streets of major cities, crowds have rallied in support of those in our country illegally. At our southern border, others have organized to stop illegal immigrants from coming in. Across the country, Americans are trying to reconcile these contrasting images. And in Washington, the debate over immigration reform has reached a time of decision. Tonight, I will make it clear where I stand, and where I want to lead our country on this vital issue.
Funny. I’m having no trouble “reconciling” those images a-tall. ...’course I’m slightly smarter ‘n a box o’ hair.
We must begin by recognizing the problems with our immigration system.
*faintz*
For decades, the United States has not been in complete control of its borders. As a result, many who want to work in our economy have been able to sneak across our border, and millions have stayed.
okokok—a firm grasp of the freakin’ obvious is the cornerstone of sanity.
Once here, illegal immigrants live in the shadows of our society.
so do junkies and their dealers.
Many use forged documents to get jobs, and that makes it difficult for employers to verify that the workers they hire are legal. Illegal immigration puts pressure on public schools and hospitals, it strains state and local budgets, and brings crime to our communities. These are real problems.
op. cit.
Yet we must remember that the vast majority of illegal immigrants are decent people who work hard, support their families, practice their faith, and lead responsible lives.
‘cept fer that leedle law-breaking part…
They are a part of American life, but they are beyond the reach and protection of American law.
Back that truck up, RhinoBoy. They are very, very within ‘the reach of’ the ‘protection of our laws.’ Some of ‘em have better ‘protection of our laws’ than I [natural born citizen] do.
We’re a nation of laws, and we must enforce our laws.
op. cit.
We’re also a nation of immigrants, and we must uphold that tradition, which has strengthened our country in so many ways.
blablabla ...nation of legal, stringently regulated immigrants… blablabla
These are not contradictory goals. America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society at the same time. We will fix the problems created by illegal immigration, and we will deliver a system that is secure, orderly, and fair.
*dons hip-waders*
So I support comprehensive immigration reform that will accomplish five clear objectives.
First, the United States must secure its borders. This is a basic responsibility of a sovereign nation. It is also an urgent requirement of our national security. Our objective is straightforward: The border should be open to trade and lawful immigration, and shut to illegal immigrants, as well as criminals, drug dealers, and terrorists.
.... ... ....
I was a governor of a state that has a 1,200-mile border with Mexico. So I know how difficult it is to enforce the border, and how important it is.
Couldn’t prove it by your record…
Since I became President, we’ve increased funding for border security by 66 percent, and expanded the Border Patrol from about 9,000 to 12,000 agents.
Then told ‘em, essentially, to ‘stand down.’
The men and women of our Border Patrol are doing a fine job in difficult circumstances,
damned difficult
and over the past five years, they have apprehended and sent home about six million people entering America illegally.
...which leaves about 10 times that many running loose.
Despite this progress,
“progress”... Again; I am slightly smarter than an inner tube.
we do not yet have full control of the border,
nooooooooooooooo.....
and I am determined to change that.
uh huh.
Tonight I’m calling on Congress to provide funding
*sigh* “Sure! I’ll fix that. But I’m gonna need more money than you gave me the last time I didn’t fix it.”
for dramatic improvements in manpower and technology at the border. By the end of 2008, we’ll increase the number of Border Patrol officers by an additional 6,000.
at the current rate of inflow, there will be an additional 10 million illegals here by then. Likely including one called Acccccchhhhhhhhmed carrying a rug, a balaclava, and a small, strangely warm suitcase.
When these new agents are deployed, we’ll have more than doubled the size of the Border Patrol during my presidency.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
At the same time, we’re launching the most technologically advanced border security initiative in American history. We will construct high-tech fences in urban corridors, and build new patrol roads and barriers in rural areas. We’ll employ motion sensors, infrared cameras, and unmanned aerial vehicles to prevent illegal crossings.
so ya can more easily
America has the best technology in the world, and we will ensure that the Border Patrol has the technology they need to do their job and secure our border.
Training thousands of new Border Patrol agents and bringing the most advanced technology to the border will take time. Yet the need to secure our border is urgent.
ya think?
So I’m announcing several immediate steps to strengthen border enforcement during this period of transition:
One way to help during this transition is to use the National Guard. So, in coordination with governors, up to 6,000 Guard members will be deployed to our southern border. The Border Patrol will remain in the lead. The Guard will assist the Border Patrol by operating surveillance systems, analyzing intelligence, installing fences and vehicle barriers, building patrol roads, and providing training. Guard units will not be involved in direct law enforcement activities—that duty will be done by the Border Patrol. This initial commitment of Guard members would last for a period of one year. After that, the number of Guard forces will be reduced as new Border Patrol agents and new technologies come online. It is important for Americans to know that we have enough Guard forces to win the war on terror, to respond to natural disasters, and to help secure our border.
The United States is not going to militarize the southern border. Mexico is our neighbor, and our friend.
bwaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaaaaaaa
Seems someone *is* dumber ‘n a size twelve boot.
We will continue to work cooperatively
tuna.
to improve security on both sides of the border, to confront common problems like drug trafficking and crime, and to reduce illegal immigration.
pssst—none of those things are considered a problem by our fireeeends to the South.
Another way to help during this period of transition is through state and local law enforcement in our border communities. So we’ll increase federal funding for state and local authorities assisting the Border Patrol on targeted enforcement missions. We will give state and local authorities the specialized training they need to help federal officers apprehend and detain illegal immigrants. State and local law enforcement officials are an important part of our border security and they need to be a part of our strategy to secure our borders.
What ‘specialized training’; seeeensitivity training?
That mean ya gonna reimburse that sheriff in Oregon and all the others for housing the illegales??
The steps I’ve outlined will improve our ability to catch people entering our country illegally. At the same time, we must ensure that every illegal immigrant we catch crossing our southern border is returned home.
No we don’t. So long as they’re out of our jurisdiction—ees no my yob, Paco.
More than 85 percent of the illegal immigrants we catch crossing the southern border are Mexicans, and most are sent back home within 24 hours.
*buzzer* Wrong - McCain-Breath.
But when we catch illegal immigrants from other country [sic] it is not as easy to send them home. For many years, the government did not have enough space in our detention facilities to hold them while the legal process unfolded.
Whaaaat “processes?” Dump ‘em on the other side and ferget ‘em.
So most were released back into our society and asked to return for a court date.
Shirely, you jest!
When the date arrived, the vast majority did not show up.
shocked, I tells ya
This practice, called “catch and release,” is unacceptable, and we will end it.
We’re taking several important steps to meet this goal. We’ve expanded the number of beds in our detention facilities, and we will continue to add more.
great—bigger jails.
Tell me again; why is it our job to take these people ‘back home?’ Do we hafta tuck ‘em in, too?
We’ve expedited the legal process to cut the average deportation time.
20 minutes: “Geddon de bus.” Bus full—*vroom* across the border. *screech* “Geddoffa de bus.”
And we’re making it clear to foreign governments that they must accept back their citizens who violate our immigration laws.
And if they decline? [*cough*Mariel*cough*]
As a result of these actions, we’ve ended “catch and release” for illegal immigrants from some countries. And I will ask Congress for additional funding and legal authority, so we can end “catch and release” at the southern border once and for all.
We gonna pay countires to take ‘em back?
When people know that they’ll be caught and sent home if they enter our country illegally, they will be less likely to try to sneak in.
*cough*bullshit*cough*
Second, to secure our border, we must create a temporary worker program.
because it worked so well for Frants!
The reality is that there are many people on the other side of our border who will do anything to come to America to work and build a better life. They walk across miles of desert in the summer heat, or hide in the back of 18-wheelers to reach our country. This creates enormous pressure on our border that walls and patrols alone will not stop. To secure the border effectively, we must reduce the numbers of people trying to sneak across.
shooting ‘em is out—too messy. Maybe we could turn American into a turd-world hell hole—then no one would wanna sneak in cuz it’d be just like back home!
[what? oh. that was your idea… gotcha]
Therefore, I support a temporary worker program that would create a legal path for foreign workers to enter our country in an orderly way, for a limited period of time.
Why yes—because a non-citizen, uneducated, uninvested underclass has worked so well for every society that has tried it! [see: History]
This program would match willing foreign workers with willing American employers for jobs Americans are not doing.
At 4.7% unemployment with payroll employment up by 138,000 net new jobs in April, being the 32nd consecutive month of employment gains, productivity (output per hour) in the business sector growing at a robust 3.4% annual rate in the 1st quarter and real hourly compensation growing at an annual 3.6% rate—just what jobs are there?
Wouldja mean the jobs that teenagers and first time employed can’t get because the wages are artificially low due to illegal aliens? Those jobs, Binky?
Every worker who applies for the program would be required to pass criminal background checks.
bwaaaaaaaaahahahaahahahahhaahha
You been outside of the US, Credulous Charlie?
And temporary workers must return to their home country at the conclusion of their stay.
ibid.: see: Braseros program / Reagan era ‘This isn’t amnesty… per se ...so much’ program
A temporary worker program would meet the needs of our economy,
as would simply preventing them from working, schooling, ER-ing, AFDC-ing at which point they would wander away. In droves.
and it would give honest immigrants a way to provide for their families while respecting the law.
Not our job, CodependentBoy.
[/cold-hearted yet alluringly practical bitch]
A temporary worker program would reduce the appeal of human smugglers, and make it less likely that people would risk their lives to cross the border.
op. cit.
It would ease the financial burden on state and local governments, by replacing illegal workers with lawful taxpayers. And above all, a temporary worker program would add to our security by making certain we know who is in our country and why they are here.
Dream a little dream for me....
Third, we need to hold employers to account for the workers they hire.
see: Reagan era ‘plan’ and subsequent “execution”
It is against the law to hire someone who is in this country illegally. Yet businesses often cannot verify the legal status of their employees because of the widespread problem of document fraud.
and the complete refusal of the Fel’d gubbmint to be of any help
Therefore, comprehensive immigration reform must include a better system for verifying documents and work eligibility. A key part of that system should be a new identification card for every legal foreign worker. This card should use biometric technology, such as digital fingerprints, to make it tamper-proof. A tamper-proof card would help us enforce the law, and leave employers with no excuse for violating it. And by making it harder for illegal immigrants to find work in our country, we would discourage people from crossing the border illegally in the first place.
So this National ID Card is only for them that’s looks like they might be illegal aliens, right?
Fourth, we must face the reality that millions of illegal immigrants are here already.
some of us already have, Captain Quickstudy
They should not be given an automatic path to citizenship. This is amnesty, and I oppose it. Amnesty would be unfair to those who are here lawfully, and it would invite further waves of illegal immigration.
.....
Some in this country argue
He did learn something from the Mahdi in an Almond Dinner Jacket’s letter…
that the solution is to deport every illegal immigrant, and that any proposal short of this amounts to amnesty.
uh huh. prima fascia
I disagree. It is neither wise, nor realistic to round up millions of people, many with deep roots in the United States, and send them across the border.
no one hasta ‘round up’ anyone. Think it thru, Dense Daryl.
There is a rational middle ground between granting an automatic path to citizenship for every illegal immigrant, and a program of mass deportation. That middle ground recognizes there are differences between an illegal immigrant who crossed the border recently, and someone who has worked here for many years, and has a home, a family, and an otherwise clean record.
I believe that illegal immigrants who have roots in our country and want to stay should have to pay a meaningful penalty for breaking the law, to pay their taxes, to learn English, and to work in a job for a number of years. People who meet these conditions should be able to apply for citizenship, but approval would not be automatic, and they will have to wait in line behind those who played by the rules and followed the law.
uh huh. And what about those who have never broken the law and are starting the process today or tomorrow—are these law-breakers in line ahead of them?
What I’ve just described is not amnesty,
*cough*bullshit*cough*
it is a way for those who have broken the law to pay their debt to society,
all $10 billion of it? Per year?
and demonstrate the character that makes a good citizen.
character ≠ breaking the law then tromping down Main Street flying the flat of a foreign nation demanding to do so consequence-free.
just sayin’...
Fifth, we must honor the great American tradition of the melting pot,
i think I’m gonna toss my salad…
which has made us one nation out of many peoples. The success of our country depends upon helping newcomers assimilate into our society,
Are we gonna start Settlement Houses, now? They weren’t federally funded, yanno…
and embrace our common identity as Americans. Americans are bound together by our shared ideals,
lawbreaking, claiming victimhood and demanding special treatment?
an appreciation of our history,
which illegal aliens don’t know
respect for the flag we fly,
Mexican or US?
and an ability to speak and write the English language. English is also the key to unlocking the opportunity of America.
“Press 1 for English”
English allows newcomers to go from picking crops to opening a grocery,
Lola’s Carnecería has signs in the aisles—all in Spanish… Same with Home Depot, Lowes, Yardbirds......
from cleaning offices to running offices, from a life of low-paying jobs to a diploma, a career, and a home of their own. When immigrants assimilate and advance in our society, they realize their dreams, they renew our spirit, and they add to the unity of America.
*cue sappy muzak*
Tonight, I want to speak directly to members of the House and the Senate: An immigration reform bill needs to be comprehensive, because all elements of this problem must be addressed together, or none of them will be solved at all.
b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t.
The House has passed an immigration bill.
a little weenie thing it is.
The Senate should act by the end of this month so we can work out the differences between the two bills, and Congress can pass a comprehensive bill for me to sign into law.
America needs to conduct this debate on immigration in a reasoned and respectful tone.
then, perhaps, you might quit calling folks, “vigilantes,” “racists” and implying we think we’re too good to do some kinds of work, hmmmm, Captain Courtesy?
Feelings run deep on this issue, and as we work it out, all of us need to keep some things in mind.
Oh, how I looove to be lectured. Especially ‘down to’.
We cannot build a unified country by inciting people to anger, or playing on anyone’s fears, or exploiting the issue of immigration for political gain.
*eye roll*
We must always remember that real lives will be affected by our debates and decisions, and that every human being has dignity and value no matter what their citizenship papers say.
May I repeat to you: “...or exploiting the issue of immigration for political gain...” Quoting one side’s message with the serial numbers filed off ... well, that’s kinda sleezy pandering, doncha think?
I know many of you listening tonight have a parent or a grandparent who came here from another country with dreams of a better life.
LEGALLY!
You know what freedom meant to them, and you know that America is a more hopeful country because of their hard work and sacrifice.
and willingness—nay, dedication to—following the LAW.
As President, I’ve had the opportunity to meet people of many backgrounds, and hear what America means to them.
*cue patriotic muzak*
On a visit to Bethesda Naval Hospital, Laura and I met a wounded Marine named Guadalupe Denogean. Master Gunnery Sergeant Denogean came to the United States from Mexico when he was a boy. He spent his summers picking crops with his family, and then he volunteered for the United States Marine Corps as soon as he was able. During the liberation of Iraq, Master Gunnery Sergeant Denogean was seriously injured. And when asked if he had any requests, he made two: a promotion for the corporal who helped rescue him, and the chance to become an American citizen. And when this brave Marine raised his right hand, and swore an oath to become a citizen of the country he had defended for more than 26 years, I was honored to stand at his side.
26 years in the Marines and he waited until now? I must be missing something…
We will always be proud to welcome people like Guadalupe Denogean as fellow Americans. Our new immigrants are just what they’ve always been—people willing to risk everything for the dream of freedom.
Freedom that comes from being a nation of laws—where each and every one is the same in the eyes of the law.
And America remains what she has always been: the great hope on the horizon, an open door to the future, a blessed and promised land.
[/piss-poor Reagan impression attempt]
We honor the heritage of all who come here, no matter where they come from, because we trust in our country’s genius for making us all Americans
Great. End on magical thinking. Are you actually that dumb, Chimpy, or are ya tryin’ to make a chump outta me again?

Looks like The Chimp made a chump outta me.
singin’ the ‘I’m gonna hafta come to your house and not vote for your Republicans, cuz I ain’t got none o’ my own’ Blues...
President Bush and a group of senators yesterday reached general agreement on an immigration bill that includes a pathway to citizenship for many illegal aliens.
But left out of the closed-door White House meeting were senators who oppose a path to citizenship....you can shrink the time for people to become citizens by simply enlarging the number of green cards
Can anyone think of a reason the freakin’ President would want to flood our country with non-English speaking, Raza-ist, ignorant peasants—and a sprinkling of terroristas and sleeper cells? Cuz I’m fresh outta ideas.

POTUS: “We are going to protect the border.”
good idea, Dubya....
“reject amnesty” [?!???] [ah—just callin’ it something different...]
1] return every illegal entrant—no exceptions.
[yeah—by making me pay for their flights to interior Mexico… Make sure ya give ‘em a nice meal, too, and a coupla tequila poppers—on me.]
“Catch and Release is an unwise policy and we’re gonna end it.” [well, it works for fish] [whyinhell do we need bed space? whyinlivinghell does it take 30 days?!?!?!? We know where Mexico is—right?]
Pressing foreign govt.s to take their folk back. [uh huh...] Catch and Return [not Shoot and Return?]
2] Say whaaaaa? We’re forced to release ‘em if their own governments won’t take ‘em back? What muttonheads passed that law? ...nevermind.]
9th Circus Court—[shoot them too.]
3] [here’s an idea] Stop ‘em from crossing illegally in the first damn place. oooooo another 1,000 Border Agents. up to 12,500 agents for a border how long? Most of these agents stationed in AZ. Thanx.
Surveillance drones and IR cameras. kewl… Fences - better.
IOW - ‘it’s not me; it’s Congress.’ gotcha.
40% increase of pickayune is still p-poor.

Chump Move for Chimpy?
I dunno ‘bout this...
Harriet Meirs: White House Council?? Gore supporter???
Lady DiFi [wording approx/content clear - from raadio]
This is the Court that is increasingly overturning laws as being an inappropriate use of Commerce Clause… 60 in the last few years. More than ever in history!This the court that struck down a law that prohibited guns 1,000 feet of schools as an inappropriate use of the Commerce Clause.
ok—but then, where did she take it?
Most people would say, ‘look we don’t want guns in schools. We don’t want another Columbine"
Bingo. Complete disconnect with adult reality. Izzit just insulting? Or have they been talking down to their constituency for so long that they’ve gone completely stoopud themselves?
[for TOaD and Ashram: a comment or ruling pointing out that a law is written poorly and/or uses for its basis bits of the Constitution that don’t actually apply is not a comment or ruling that the intent of that law is or is not a good idea. A law prohibiting guns near schools using the Commerce Clause is like driving from San FranFreakshow to Lost Angeles by heading for Clevelandmj. One is Goal. T’other is Methodology. m’kay?]
More Lady DiFi: My view is always wait for the hearing - don’t come out and say what you think before you do your due diligence....
Even she can no longer stand to listen to her…

I'm so confused...
okay, Usama. You just wait right there while I find my bullet. no! just waida minnit, gotdang it!
The new [FBI] squad will divert eight agents, a supervisor and assorted support staff to gather evidence against “manufacturers and purveyors” of pornography—not the kind exploiting children, but the kind that depicts, and is marketed to, consenting adults. [Described in a] Electronic Communication from FBI headquarters to all 56 field offices, describing the initiative as “one of the top priorities” of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and, by extension, of “the Director,” Robert Mueller III.
uhm… isn’t that legal pr0n? Whad’re they gonna do—deliver a severe finger shaking and a stern “tsk tsk tsk?”
“top priority” = “eight agents” So whaaa? we got like three guys after UbL and the Atta Wannabes, now?

Sugar Candy
your impressions?
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Winston Churchill said that the American people…he said, the American people, he said, and this is a direct quote, “We didn’t come this far because we are made of sugar candy.”
That was his response to the attack on Pearl Harbor. That we didn’t come this far because we are made of sugar candy.
And that reminder was taken seriously. And we proceeded to develop and deliver the bomb, even though roughly 150,000 men, women and children perished in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. With a single blow, World War II was over.
Following New York, Sept. 11, Winston Churchill was not here to remind us that we didn’t come this far because we’re made of sugar candy.
So, following the New York disaster, we mustered our humanity.
We gave old pals a pass, even though men and money from Saudi Arabia were largely responsible for the devastation of New York and Pennsylvania and our Pentagon.
We called Saudi Arabians our partners against terrorism and we sent men with rifles into Afghanistan and Iraq, and we kept our best weapons in our silos.
Even now we’re standing there dying, daring to do nothing decisive, because we’ve declared ourselves to be better than our terrorist enemies—more moral, more civilized.
Our image is at stake, we insist.
But we didn’t come this far because we’re made of sugar candy.
Once upon a time, we elbowed our way onto and into this continent by giving small pox infected blankets to native Americans.
Yes, that was biological warfare!
And we used every other weapon we could get our hands on to grab this land from whomever. And we grew prosperous.
And, yes, we greased the skids with the sweat of slaves.
And so it goes with most nation states, which, feeling guilty about their savage pasts, eventually civilize themselves out of business and wind up invaded, and ultimately dominated by the lean, hungry and up and coming who are not made of sugar candy.

Trusting 'em... Tossing 'em... Same distance.
...same difference
Joint statement of President Bush and Prints Abdullah from Crawford TX [4.25.05] Saudi Arabia reiterates its call on all those who teach and propagate the Islamic faith to adhere strictly to the Islamic message of peace, moderation, and tolerance and reject that which deviates from those principles. Both countries agree that this message of peace, moderation, and tolerance must extend to those of all faiths and practices. The two nations reaffirm the principles agreed to during the international conference on counterterrorism hosted by the Kingdom in February 2005. These principles were enshrined in the “Riyadh Declaration” which calls for, “fostering values of understanding, tolerance, dialogue, co-existence, and the rapprochement between cultures. . . [and] for fighting any form of thinking that promotes hatred, incites violence, and condones terrorist crimes
Same day, hours earlier in Saudi Country: Saudi state-controlled newspapers reported [that] security forces rounded up 40 men, women, and children of Pakistani citizenship who were worshipping at an abandoned villa in western Riyadh, according to translations provided by American-based Saudi monitors.
Al-Riyadh newspaper quoted a security official as saying that the Christians were arrested for “trying to spread their poisonous religious beliefs to others through the distribution of books and pamphlets,” the Saudi Institute in Washington, D.C., said in a report.
Nice hand-holding partner, Dubya. Big duh...
Kinda like looking deeply into the eyes of your other ‘new bestest frieeend’ and seeing his soul:
XinhuaNet News, *China*: President Vladimir Putin lamented the demise of the Soviet Union in some of his strongest language to date, saying in a nationally televised speech before parliament Monday that it was “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century."
At least when the hatmaker fell for the same siren song, it was for one of the world’s greatest sociopaths. I’d hardly call Putin a charismatic personality....
