The Deadline Poet Goes Back To 2001 To Understand 2014?

Thos blogger wonders if The Dubster, in his initial encounter with (Ras)Putin, asked the former KGB-agent if (Ras)Putin had a lifeguard in case The Dubster fell into those deep blue eyes? Actually, (Ras)Putin has the dead eyes of a Great White; they may be blue, but the KGB-eyes are empty. Of course, this is another example of The Dubster's fecklessness. In fact, he was the most fecked up POTUS we've ever head. (Roll over, Mr. Normalcy.) If this is a (fair & balanced) diagnosis of presidential fatuity, so be it.

Could one thing he sensed be a taste for invasion? Ω
