Bush's super-secret "nickname-creation" formulas.

Dr More BS (libcrypt), Thursday, 22 January 2009 08:36 (fifteen years ago) link

PIOTR DUTKIEWICZ: Which do you think are the three most important things you have achieved during your time in the Kremlin? Which three things did you not have enough time to do or were not able to do? And what are three pieces of advice that you would give your successor when you have your first meeting with him?

VLADIMIR PUTIN: On this account we have an old joke. When the head of a company or - let’s take a bigger picture - of a region, leaves his position, he gives his successor three envelopes and tells him the following: ‘Open the first envelope now, the second in two years, and the third just before you leave your position’. Upon opening the first envelope he reads: ‘Blame it all on me’. In two years he opens the second envelope which reads: ‘Promise everything’. And when he has six months left he opens the third envelope and reads: ‘Prepare three envelopes’. (Laughter). This story is relevant because our colleague has asked me to formulate three things three times right now.

Barack You Like A Husseincane (HI DERE), Thursday, 22 January 2009 20:01 (fifteen years ago) link

On board Special Air Mission 28000, I remembered the picture I carried in my pocket on my first Air Force One flight eight years ago. It was an old black-and-white snapshot with scalloped edges. It showed Lyndon Johnson in the Cabinet Room, head in hand, weeping over a Vietnam casualty report. George Christian, LBJ's press secretary, gave it to me as a reminder that the job could break anyone, no matter how big and tough.

But despite facing challenges and crises few others have, the job did not break George W. Bush.

I think Rove was missing the point of that photo somehow.

I'm not sure when, or if, you will discover this--but if you do--I'm thinking of you now & ever. You've changed my life Obama. Before you I wasn't sure why I bothered, but you've given dimension and color to a previously flat and anemic existence. As much as I pride myself of my literacy, words escape me when I try to due (sic lol) justice to the happiness you have given me. I wish I could spend every moment with you, but the practical world intercedes. You are mine, aren't you? I'm yours Obama, ever and always, if you will it. I love you. When I'm away you are with me in thought, and I with you. I wonder what you do, and even that bridges the distance.
