Brewing bromance?



No audio available. Obama and Putin hold a sidebar today in Turkey at the G20 conference.

Below, follow the link to a two-minute video of Obama pushing back in a 60 Minutes interview, where he questions that Russia is 'challenging us.'

How about some bad lipreading then?

Technical question: I saw the President speak and then the guy in the middle presumably translated for Putin. Who is the woman? Is she a translator too?

I have to admit that my first thought when I saw your provocative title was "Beer Summit." Or maybe, "Bear Summit."

O: Rousey lost, Vlad! To an Austrian!

P: Australian.

O: Well okay, another place they speak German. The point is Rousey and me, we hit they go boom.

P: She was coasting, like you.

O: Help me, Vlad. I punch, you go boom. "Kay bro?

P: Oh, I go boom alright. You wait, I go boom.

O: RACISSS!

The woman is Susan Rice, the honorary Barbara Billingsley "I speak jive" translator.

I think Poot was saying, "You walk in like little moron on moment of silence again, I beat your scrawny ass to pulp. And your Marines will hold you down. And not call fucking corpsman".

"Not corpseman, either, you ignoramus".

I can see that now, chick.

Nick, classic scene.

That looks like an intense serious conversation except that Putin doesn't speak English very well at all so ... it's not. To the extent that anyone's speaking, it's in Russian and King Putt has no idea what's being said.

No audio available. Hahahahhahahahaha.
There's audio. It's just "not available."

Obama looks a little annoyed in the few short clips I watched. It's as if somebody started asking him real questions for a change.

That was a 7-year honeymoon with CBS -- probably a record. In the end, CBS news is probably afraid of becoming another UHF channel if you're older enough to get my drift.

Urkel: So, uh, um, Mr. Poutine, did Mr. Medvedev relay my flexibility to you after I won the election?

Putin: Da

Urkel: So, uh, um, so I'm pretty limber right now, how would you like me to show you how flexible I am?

Putin: No need Comrade Urkel, we've known your ability to grab your ankles has been very helpful to us.

Urkel: I can twist in other positions if you like.

Putin: Nyet. We like you like this. Das Vedonya.

Good one, Meth. I'd forgotten about the overheard flexibility brouhaha.

Chick, good old fuzzy, staticky UHF.
