George W. Bush is ...

fill in the blank. Ha!

Seriously, interesting article in this week's Newsweek. A couple of fellers got rare in-depth access for interviews at the same time the Israel-Hezbollah shit broke out, so the story was a combination of the G8 in Russia and the Mideast "shit" (yes, Newsweek used Bush's quote verbatim). It's enjoyable more for the behind-the-scenes stuff at the G8; the mistrust that still exists between the U.S. and Russia; the way Bush has to hide in his limo for the only true sanctuary against microphones in weather balloons or other listening devices; the way he interacts with Putin at quirky times.

There's also a very funny bit about Koizumi and the word "bear," which is one of the oddest things I've seen. Koizumi seems like an outrageous, fun dude. And his Eddie Vedder hair! How many world leaders act like rock stars that way? That's awesome.

Anyhoo, it's an interesting package. Some photos are OK, others not so hot.

No it won't, and that excites me.

 

the biggest f***ing hero in the world.







Sorry, my favorite pic to post can't be found, so I had to say it.

And Doc's right. This won't end well.

 

That's the best I could find, SC.

 

I found this one, KY. It also amuses me.

EDIT: Wrong pic for the codpiece reference. :-[

 

I read it online. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13988981/site/newsweek/). Pretty interesting story. I also enjoyed the parts about how the Secret Service tries to protect the president's communications in Russia.

 

George Bush is not afraid of manbearpig

 

Yeah, they have his outside-bugging-proof limo flown in. That's funny.
