So Not Funny.
At last week’s press conference, President Bush was his usual joker self.
Q: Mr. President, following up on Vladimir Putin for a moment, he said, recently, that next year, when he has to step down according to the constitution, as the president, he may become prime minister; in effect keeping power and dashing any hopes for a genuine democratic transition there.
BUSH: I’ve been planning that myself.
Har. Excuse me while I roll my eyes in as exaggerated a manner as possible.
