Bush looked into Putin’s eyes and saw his soul, then captured his heart

Apparently, Vladimir Putin hasn’t been watching MSNBC. He doesn’t seem to know that America’s friends and foes alike are supposed to hate George Bush.

Putin sent warm birthday greetings to the supposedly universally-hated Bush just hours before meeting with the supposedly universally-loved Barack Obama.

“During the last years we have been working on strengthening Russia-U.S. cooperation. Although there were differences between our countries, I always valued your openness and sincerity,” Putin said. “With special warmth I recall your hospitality in the Crawford ranch and your family estate in Kennebunkport.”

“I’ll never forget that night we spent together watching Brokeback Mountain,” he added. “And talking until the sun came up.”

Note: We made that last paragraph up. Vladimir Putin could kick our scrawny blogging asses and we sincerely apologize for any embarrassment our snide comments may cause him.
