President Bush Called Putin “Cold-Blooded,” Exchanged Trash Talk Over Size Of Their Dogs

President George W. Bush‘s media tour for Decision Points is well into week #2, but there are still nuggets of under-reported new information that is emerging.

Like his “complicated relationship” with former Russian President Vladimir Putin – with two stories that would be great for the sequel to W.

The first, which he told this morning on Fox & Friends, involved their respective dogs. When Bush introduced Putin to Barney, “he kind of dissed him,” recalled the President. Later, when Putin showed off his dog to Bush for the first time, he made sure to add that his was “bigger stronger and faster than Barney.”

“You could argue that he changed,” said co-host Brian Kilmeade. “Because he was the first guy to call after 9/11 and he said ‘use our airspace. I’ll do whatever I can in Afghanistan.’”

Of course, that changed over time. “At the end of my administration, Russia had invaded Georgia and I was hot,” said Pres. Bush. At the Olympics in 2008, he and Putin ended up sitting next to each other. Bush said the conversation went like this:

I said Vladimir i’ve been saying President Saakashvili is hot-blooded. Putin looks at me and says, ‘I’m hot-blooded.’ I said no, Vladimir, you’re cold-blooded.

Oliver Stone, start your sequel. Here’s the interview today on F&F:

    Sounds like two really mature leaders.

    And, “Fox and Friends”? Winn-Dixie wouldn’t let W set up a card table by the processed cheese products to whore his book?

    He also said he looked into his eyes and saw his heart. I hope that is mentioned in the darn book.

    I’m King . ” President ” Bush only appears on Fox ” News ” because his continual lying complements their lies , forming an iceberg of cold blooded lies . He could probably pass a lie detector test , because all lie detectors are made by Halliburton . I have determined this by absorbing the energy emanating from my TV while Fox is on . It’s all scientific , you see . The entire Palin family is mixed up in this , too .

    Are we talking about Putin’s eyes or Barney’s eyes?

    Was that right after he got drunk on pretzels, hit his head on the coffee table and blacked out?

    Seriously, I remember this odd remark very well, much as I remember W taking the Saudi Prince’s hand and prancing through the bluebonnets.

    Putin did seem to change over the years, becoming increasingly unfriendly toward the US. Of course, once a KGB agent, always a KGB agent. Still, there was more money and power for him and his friends in the oligarchy from selling weapons and technology to America’s enemies.

    Thats because we are doing Socialism better then he ever could… Not that “that” is a good thing….

    He’s a Bush. All those people ever learned was – trash. All trash – no guts. No education. No class. He was way over-matched in Putin’s presence. Cut the little rodent some slack.

    I know King’s a dick, but you have to admit that’s pretty funny.
