So What Do We Do About Vlad, O’Reilly?

I seem to recall that Bill O’Reilly, among others, had no trouble attacking France a few years ago when that nation decided not to send troops to Iraq (and by the way – as I’ve asked before – when is our vigorous new buddy Sarko, who we like as opposed to that old, stuffy Chirac…tongue in cheek here…going to ante up and decide to let the blood of his country’s soldiers spill in Mesopotamia as opposed to - almost without exception in terms of the military - ours?).

Well, what will Falafel boy and his buddies say now that our ol’ buddy Vlad Putin, whose soul Dubya supposedly looked into a few months ago in Kennebunkport (please), has quite rightly declared the Iraq war to be “pointless”? Are we going to start dumping caviar and Stoli on The Mall in Washington, D.C.? Will there be a massive hue and cry to deny work visas to Russian software professionals (as if that would ever happen)? Will Putin acquire the nickname of “borscht boy” on “The Factor” or something?

I mean, we changed the name of two of our staple menu items to “Freedom Fries” and “Freedom Toast” as noted here, didn’t we (and Walter Jones has apparently come around on the war finally, while Bob Ney is currently residing at the Federal Correctional Institute in Morgantown, VA after his guilty plea in connection to the Jack Abramofff scandal). Well, shouldn’t we be consistent and subject Putin and the Russians to the same childish name calling?

Come on, freepers, get with the demagoguery already. You’re slacking!
