I think Gorbie misses Reagan.

[RexBeach]

Has he gotten that stain removed from his head yet?

[HarleyLady27]

past time president clinton's legacy:

trying to have 72 virgins BEFORE he dies....

[BenLurkin]

How far could I pick up and throw Gorby?

[DoughtyOne]

I think Gorby is working to undermine this nation in ways most of us never consider.

Yep Gorby, Hillary would make such a great president.

Take care of your other foot bud.

[the invisib1e hand]

hmmm...the headline I heard was that Gorby liked the elder Bush better. That was it. You don't think it was spun, here in New York City, do ya?

[areafiftyone]

I know. No mention of saying this Bush was a leader in the headlines. To be honest I'm so used to it - it doesn't even surprise me at all.

Here's to him seeing 'The Gipper' soon... on his way to where dead commies go.

``Sometimes, despite the pressures he is under, President Bush I think acts prudently, sometimes he doesn't,'' Gorbachev said. ``And when he doesn't do well, that is something that is not good.''

Has ever a more vague, ambiguous statement been made?

[Sooth2222]

"Gorbachev called Bill Clinton ``an intelligent person.'' Still, he said, ``there was a lot of tension during his presidency.'' "

Tension that was relieved by the hard work and attention to details by fat White House interns.

"Hey, man, I never touched that chick! 'Mr. Winkie' did!"

[My2Cents]

You mean the tatoo of Afghanistan?

[My2Cents]

I notice that with Russian, things tend to get scrambled in the translation.

[lesser_satan]

LOL! When I was a kid in th '80s, I remember Mad Magazine showing Gorbie's birthmark as a hammer-and-sickle.

[RexBeach]

Yeah. That's the one. That big red splotch near the top of his head. It always looked so odd.

[Alex1977]

"General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

Gorbachev, in an interview on Bloomberg TV's ``Political Capital with Al Hunt'' scheduled to air this weekend, also criticized one likely presidential contender, Arizona Republican John McCain, while praising another, New York Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton. ...He called the younger Bush a leader ``who has a difference from his own father and from other presidents.'' Gorbachev said of the current president Bush: ``There are some people in his entourage who are pushing him to steps that create tensions and problems.''

Let's see, hmmmm-m-m-m-m, the last communist leader of the Soviet Union praises Hillary, Bush and disses McCain as too strident like Reagan...should be a no brainer about who reasonable conservative capitalists should perfer.
