rivercityvibe   “Puerile, smutty, schoolboy nonsense” – My Mom

This is a classic. All you have to do is hang with the likes of Sarkozy – a serial adulterer (it’s okay in France) who recently married a popular singer (and ex-model) –  for a while. Eventually some of that Gallic sexual permissiveness will rub off. Here is our President, dropping his guard:

I don’t know about you, but that sort of thing warms the cockles of my heart.

Reminds me of the good ol’ days under Clinton………

It’s that time again. This is for last weekend, by the way. You may have noticed, I am a bit behind currently. I’ve been busy with VERY important business. On a barely related matter, I note that President Obama and Russian President Medvedev have finally reached an agreement on nuclear arms limitation.

So, in celebration of the slightly smaller chance that the world implodes according to the principles of Mutually Assured Destruction, here is a super hot bikini babe who happens to be Russian:

Well done, tovarich. Well done indeed. For the record, this is Irina Sheik (born Irina Shaykhlislamova on January 6, 1986 [Bones Note: Sagittarius] in Yemanzhelinsk, Russia). Her family are of Cossack extraction.

Awesome all round, basically.

Okay, no surprises this week. Assclown of the Week is that inveterate fuckwit Michelle Bachmann (R) of Minnesota. In a congress crammed to the gills with comedy fools, Bachmann still manages to stand-out like a dog poo on a pool deck.

This week, she weighed in on the Swine Flu debate. Apparently the global (non-) pandemic is the Democratic party’s fault – mostly the President’s.

The eyes. Dead giveaway.

Many have said that Bachmann was just echoing what ol’ fatty Limbaugh had already said. I think there can be no doubt that this elected (how?) official marches to the sound of Rush’s guns. However, she still looked VERY SILLY when she said the following:

“I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I’m not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it’s an interesting coincidence.”

This pointless party-political nonsense makes sensible people of all political hues roll their eyes. It’s bad for America, and when it is inexpertly deployed by the likes of Bachmann, you can actually feel yourself become a little more stupid…….

….particularly since the seventies swine flu outbreak occurred during Gerald Ford’s administration. He was a Republican, FYI.

Nice one Congresswoman. I for one wish you a long and vocal career in politics.

You make it easy for me.

Page Six is reporting that we may not have seen the end of our lovely Sarah Palin. Apparently she is being courted by talent agencies who hope to turn her into a “White Oprah”.

But hot.

Naughty, naughty!

The paper says:

SARAH Palin won’t be vice president, but she won the hearts of talent scouts and literary agents who are scrambling to sign her to multimillion-dollar contracts.

CAA, ICM, William Morris, Paradigm and other agencies “smell books, talk shows and commentary for Fox and CNN” as possibilities for the Alaska governor, West Coast PR man Hal Lifson told us.

There is one agency, however, that has no interest in her whatsoever. It’s the agency run by Ari Emmanuel, the real-life inspiration for Entourage’s Ari Gold (another classic last night, folks). Mr. Emmanuel’s brother,  Rahm has just been appointed President-Elect Obama”s Chief-of-Staff.

Boom!

Now this is more like it. The best bit is at the end, so keep watching. Awesome.

Cindy McCain, the other hot (-ish) republican cougar in the Presidential campaign, brunched at the Fox in Avondale, yesterday.  She was joined by Rudi Giuliani, who I have always thought, underneath it all, would be a good guy to go for a cold one with.

Maybe in Monty’s, a few doors down. Drinking starts there about brunchtime.

Not Mrs. McCain

According to Channel 4, Mrs. McCain had this to say about her husband’s chances in Florida:

“I just believe in the good sense of the American people,” ……. “I believe we’re going to win Florida because I believe people, when it comes right down to it, they don’t want higher taxes.”

These re-pubs keep going on about higher taxes. How important is that compared with the fact that opponent Barack Obama has NEVER OWNED A DOG?

It’s true. Look it up. It has sent people close to Joe into agonies of political self-doubt.

[I like the Fox for breakfast. It is probably the best place within two miles of Bones HQ. But I have two reservations: 1. They always add, unsolicited, bits of fruit on the side of your plate, and 2. I think one of the waitresses is an emo. More on this later.]
