Liberal Talking Point #42225: Any time a conservative accuses a liberal of being a Communist, you just need to remind them of Bush’s latest trip to Russia.
From the NY Times:
Standing in front of Lenin’s Tomb, not on it as Soviet leaders once did, Mr. Putin expressed no contrition for the Soviet domination of Eastern and Central Europe that followed the end of World War II, as some leaders from that region had hoped he would. Instead, he said the war’s legacy demonstrated the need for unity with Russia against new threats.

After Mr. Putin concluded his speech and returned to his seat, Mr. Bush appeared to compliment him. Mr. Putin responded by putting his hand lightly on Mr. Bush’s knee and mouthing a reply.
[Senior White House adviser Dan] Bartlett said Mr. Bush felt no discomfort about appearing as a prominent actor in a tableau of Soviet imagery, including flowing banners bearing the hammer and sickle and a martial parade that evoked past Soviet celebrations - though without the displays of tanks and missiles that once rattled cold war nerves.
The two men later shared a fine cabernet, after which Bush emerged to say that Putin is a much better kisser than Crown Prince Abdullah, primarily because he uses more tongue.

It did seem odd that their dinner lasted an hour or so beyond what was scheduled. And their previous meeting a few months ago was private and lasted about three hours, if I remember correctly. Perhaps with Jeff Gannon out of the White House, George needs to get his man-lovin’ elsewhere.

Man, I’m LOL. Great piece…and a real kicker.
