  1. You know, I’m inclined to give the guy a break. He trusted Bush and the Neo-cons, to the annoyance of Russia, the Russians invaded, and Bush left him high and dry. Oh, wait, Bush did sent Condy Rice, our super special diplomatrix. Yeah, she’s solve this, like she has so many other problems.

    That’s his “blankey” that his mommy sewed into a tie.

    It’s made from the same fabric as edible panties.

  4. Perhaps it tastes like crow?

    That is not a good sign. Chewing on your tie indicates oral compulsive behavior, which means you suck!

  6. 4tehlulz says at 9:14 am, August 18th, 2008

    He needs something to practice on for his next visit with Bush.

  7. I like that this is coming from BBC World News.

  8. Serolf Divad says at 9:24 am, August 18th, 2008

    Jesus Christ, it’s like Bush and Saakasvili were separated at birth or something.

    Could have been worse, could have choked on a pretzel…

  10. Does it taste like crisp, smokey bacon?

  11. Johnetic says at 9:35 am, August 18th, 2008

    It makes him look like a 5 year old in his second hour of church on Easter Sunday. His mom is going to lean over and smack him in the side of the head at any time.

  12. Neilist says at 9:45 am, August 18th, 2008

    Hey, if the Russian Army was about to shove a T-80 or Hind-D up my ass, I might chew my tie, too.

    Anyway, if there was equivalent footage of our “President,” he’d be picking his nose.

    And eating it . . .

    FOR FREEDOM!

  13. Are you sure that’s not an old Monty Python bit? The guy looks a bit like Terry Jones…

  14. spencer says at 9:46 am, August 18th, 2008

    Maybe he dips it in borsch before he takes phone calls.

  15. Jewdishoowary Square says at 9:47 am, August 18th, 2008

    He’s just hungry for freedom, is all. Either that or the boxes of Humanitari-Os that we sent haven’t quite arrived yet.

  16. Johnny Zhivago says at 9:48 am, August 18th, 2008

    Talk about wearing your lunch!

  17. Neilist:
    A Ka-50 would be enough for me.

    “50 bucks the Bush kid picks his nose”.

  18. Though the circumstances remain unclear, it seems he *is* guilty of political stupidity so some tie consumption is probably called for. Perhaps someone will send around a plate of ties for W and Dick as well.

  19. donner_froh says at 10:05 am, August 18th, 2008

    He forgot what he had for dinner last night and is reminding himself by sucking the grease stains on his tie. That way he can avoid ordering the same thing twice.

  20. loudmouthredhead says at 10:14 am, August 18th, 2008

    kosure: I probably wouldn’t have believed it otherwise.
    MARCdMan: & TGY: We can dream, can’t we?

  21. Canuckledragger says at 10:22 am, August 18th, 2008

    The man’s as good as his word. Micha had sworn, “After promising me military backup, if Bush doesn’t come to my aid, I’ll eat my tie.”

    Micha had no hat.

  22. NoWireHangers says at 10:29 am, August 18th, 2008

    Neilist: Thought we did have footage of W excavating his nasal cavities. Somewhere it’s on tape. Maybe labeled “Bush Legacy” or something.

  23. A perfectly natural response when one bets two stacks of high society against KGB…and loses.

  24. LBOtomist says at 10:54 am, August 18th, 2008

    Servo: Wait til they start splashing the pot…whenever the fuck they want!

  25. 1974 (again) says at 10:55 am, August 18th, 2008

    Johnetic: If his mother is like my mother, she called immediately afterward and wailed about how embarrassed she was and why did he do that to her and what kind of schmuck chews his tie on international television and how will she ever face the neighbors and why doesn’t he call more often. The international ridicule seems quite easy to deal with by comparison.

  26. Poliscide says at 11:30 am, August 18th, 2008

    I seem to recall him telling Larry King that ‘If anyone can prove Georgian troops initiated the attack on South Ossetia, I’ll eat my hat!’. I guess eating his tie is some sort of compromise, possibly brokered by Joe Lieberman, Lindsey Graham and Joe Biden (who are all actually in or going to Georgia, by the way). Damn, when did Georgia become THE place to be? We should send over McCain, since he has the most foreign policy experience in that region. He actually saw St. George slay the dragon! If McCain were any kind of man at all, he’d suit up in some armour and get biblical on all those damn caucasian lizards!

  27. Lascauxcaveman says at 11:40 am, August 18th, 2008

    I guess I should go easier on on my 8 year old daughter; she only chews on her hair.

  28. Darehead says at 11:46 am, August 18th, 2008

    It was all a linguistic misunderstanding. Barry had just been on the phone with him and recommended he try a MAI TAI.

  29. mackensie says at 11:48 am, August 18th, 2008

    Freedom ties?

  30. Sussemilch says at 11:54 am, August 18th, 2008

    He went for the cyanide pill tucked in the tie, placed there by the SS for when all other options had been extinguished. Prepared to take the final solution he was dismayed to find Putin one step ahead of him again - he found only a single cherry Pez.

  31. you fucks, i spit coffee all over my keyboard.

    assholes

  32. Darehead: muhahahahahhahahahahah

  33. CivicHoliday says at 1:39 pm, August 18th, 2008

    McCain gushed all over this guy to the fundies on Sat. night, like he was some sort of visionary for peace and democrasy in the region. Maybe really it’s just that they both share a penchance for fabric munching.

  34. CivicHoliday says at 1:39 pm, August 18th, 2008

    d’oh…pardon my spelling. lunch made me sleeepppppyyy

  35. Rusty Shackleford says at 1:49 pm, August 18th, 2008

    If he’s drooling, then he’s probably teething too. Poor lil’ fella, it hurts like a mutha when those baby teeth start coming in.

  36. bigheadface says at 3:30 pm, August 18th, 2008

    Terry:
    no you fool, Georgia attacked Russia. Get your facts straight.
    Bush is an idiot, but he’s not to blame for this.
