He said "NO!" to Putin (Original in Russian)

Again my translation--hopefully I captured author's cheerful and sarcastic comments on Putin's failure to get Donald Evans sitting as the chairman of Kremlin controlled oil giand "Rosneft" well.

I'm sure he could get Bill Clinton.

[JustAnotherOkie]

I nominate Bill Clinton for the job. He is highly intelligence and not a shred of moral fiber.

[Paul Ross]

Thanks, interesting.

[lizol]

Good, not like that scumbag Schroeder.

[sergey1973]

"I'm sure he could get Bill Clinton."

Than Rosneft will have to pay hefty sum to settle Clinton new sexual scandals -:))))

[linear]

I suspect some scandals would be settled for the cost of a bullet.

[Verginius Rufus]

There must be plenty of former Clinton cabinet secretaries who wouldn't have any qualms about taking such a job. How about Norman Mineta? (Not that he was the worst of the lot, but he's the only one currently in a position to do harm to American homeland security.)

[RKV]

Rosneft will hire a staff of whores to keep the slick one busy.

[BARLF]

Putin should call Clinton.

[RKV]

Given Underperformin' Norman's record we might be better off if he went to work for Putin.

[BARLF]

Or Sandy Burgler. Then there is the thief from Ca. Cunningham?

[Redcitizen]

The reply: You're putin me on!

[Verginius Rufus]

Thanks for translating this. The name at the end of the first paragraph should be "Yuganskneftegaz."

There are some clever graphics in the discussion forum (click on "obsudit' na forume" at the bottom right of the Russian text)...#47 is by "Old Rocker" in English, with Evans telling Putin he doesn't want his blood money. #49 seems to be the same thing in Russian, except that the speakers have become Judas, Annas, and Caiaphas.

[Verginius Rufus]

Given Underperformin' Norman's record we might be better off if he went to work for Putin.

Precisely.

[Trajan88]

Texas or Russia?

Don made the right choice.

[sergey1973]

Yes -:))) Thanks for pointing it out ! The guy on that forum called "Old Rocker" in post #47 rewrote a bit the Judas-Caiaphas song-dialogue from the rock-opera "Jesus Christ Superstar". Hillarious ! Then in post #49 he translated it to Russian after another guy in post #48 called "Plumber" (slesar') asked "Dear rocker, now [translate] for proletarians, please" -:))).

Evans:
- I don’t need your blood money!
Putin:
- Oh that doesn’t matter our expenses are good
Evans:
- I don’t want your blood money!
Sechin:
- But you might as well take it-we think that you should
Putin:
- Think of the things you can do with that money
Choose any charity-give to the poor
We’ve noted your motives-we’ve noted your feelings
This isn’t blood money-it’s a fee nothing
Fee nothing,fee nothing more

Russia PING ! I think folks you'd be interested in this article.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Clinton would be all over those russian women like white on rice.
