Putin Paints!

Not a huge Vlad Putin fan.
He's got that weird evil thing going on, but to me his name sounds kind of dirty. So...he has that to recommend him. I can't think of another dirtier sounding head of state surname. Not now that Vajpayee is no longer driving Pakistan's ship.
It's pronounced Vadge-pie. Hee!

Since Putin fake stepped down as Russia's #1 he's been putting out all this manly press about himself, usually about being shirtless and killing something or driving something powerful and heavy. But, like Hitler (too soon?) he has a softer art faggy side to him. He paints, but unlike Hitler (sorry it's true) he is a shitty artist.














So, so, so bad. Like something a 8 year old girl would paint and not in an outsider art kind of way. These paintings are (literally) screaming out for a magnet and a fridge to put it on, but they'll be auctioned for charity so I guess that's good.

Contribution from a friend

From my friend Cormac:
I'm pretty sure this is the foulest thing ever uttered in a financial report: "Countrywide's taint even spread this month to the presidential campaign". Eeeeww.

I like a man with an eagle eye on financial times. I countered with a 'pullout' joke about Iraq but really that's so pre surge 2007.
Give me overnight to think of a good one.

PS. Could he be cuter? Any more cute? Of more directly cute decent?
