PUTIN BACKS BUSH FOR PRESIDENT

Heard on CNN this morning that Russia's Putin is "endorsing" Furious George.

Time was, when an endorsement from Russian leadership would be the kiss of death for any American presidential candidate. I know they're supposed to be our ally now, but contrary to what FuGee saw in Putin's "soul," the man is looking very much like a totalitarian these days.

Of course, so does Bush -- or at least a wannabe.
