“In Russia, your hand would be chopped off for touching Putin.”

Maine U.S. – This past weekend, the Bush clan had a sleepover guest, Russian President (and all around general bad boy) Vladimir Putin. The sleepover followed general protocol with George Bush Snr picking up Vladimir. Unfortunately, it wasn’t from Putin’s house but from his jet. George and Laura eagerly waited outside their house for Vladimir. When Vladimir arrived, he brought flowers for Laura and her mother-in-law. Putin was then given a fruit juice box for his kindness. After meeting the rest of the family, he met with US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice. The rest of the weekend included a scary movie, midnight cheese and cracker snacks, and a blanket fort. And although it was a relaxing weekend, there was also plenty of time to discuss politics as George Snr decreed that Vlad and Georgie be given a lot of alone time. Enjoy the pictures!
