Bush and Putin Disagree on Basics

Me & George W. know that you can tell a lot about a person by the shoes they wear. It's one of the things that give us a leg up on most other people.

In the blow-up photograph below (taken yesterday in St. Petersburg) you can see that George W.'s shoes reflect his solid, feet-on-the-ground outlook on foreign and domestic policy issues and his adherence to Biblical principles. Not flashy, not fashionable. These are the shoes of a traditionalist and a conservative.

On the other hand, Putin's shoes have semi-pointy toes -- the shoes of a man who cannot be trusted. Of a man who carries a switchblade in his inside coat pocket. Of a man who grew up as a sneaky communist and is only pretending to embrace the universal value of freedom.


George W. knows this. Sharp-eyed like the American eagle, he can see the shoes of Putin for what they are: a sign of his perfidy, his Marxist-Lennist revolutionary tendencies.

These are the shoes of the current president of the Union Street Block Association, against whom I am running for that office.

Clearly, these are not the shoes of a man who should be running anything except an organic food emporium, which in fact he does. Radically anti-traditional shoes. Liberal shoes.

These, on the other hand, are my shoes: the shoes of a man who will bring Union Street out of the darkness of the failed Marxist-Leninist policies of the past and into the glare of a bright new morning of freedom for real Americans!
