The world needs more politicians who get drunk, strip down to their underwear and head out to buy pizza.

I nominate Governor Granholm of Michigan.

Just because they love you and leave you, you get all bitter.

Bad Drake! Bad, bad, bad! I get a blond lady drunk, stripped down to her underwear and heading out to buy us all pizza, and you say no?!?

What were you thinking???

**PNCarl** · 09-22-2009, 04:27 AM

No.

**GenrieAB** · 09-22-2009, 08:58 AM

Russian leaders have quite a reputation for heavy dring, at least from Stalin forward. The header seems to imply that Putin is not like that. Anybody know if that's true?

**prkddfokic** · 09-22-2009, 08:04 PM

Say that to me when I'm drunk and I'll either kiss you or smack you.

Is this supposed to be an incentive?

I'm really not into either of those things...

Quite the opposite. I've been told that many Russian women see Putin as the ideal man. He doesn't drink, and he sure doesn't beat his women while drunk

There's even a number of (cheesy and utter shite) bands praising his sobriety.

By the way, I read in the paper today that during the last year of Jeltsin's mandate Putin kept the fat drunk isolated in his Datsja, near keeping him locked up so he couldn't screw up his succession. A dick move, but pretty smart

Yeltsin is pretty much the only Russian in history worthy of respect.

I thought that Gorbachev didn't drink, and apparently neither did Andropov.

Putin, or whoever does his PR, is likely contrasting himself to Yeltsin's gangster populism. When did the Soviet anti-alcohol campaign end btw? Was it ended by Yeltsin or before?
