Fats Domino is spinning in his grave.

Oh Pootie Poot..."I found my thrill, through polonium kill. Your heart went still from polonium milk. You lingered till, my dream came true."

The people smiling and clapping in the front row remind me of the wedding scene from Flash Gordon, "All Creatures Will Make Merry...Under Penalty of Death."

Surely that is from the next Mel Brooks movie. Hollywood would actually be evil if they had more brains.

Just think about something, just for a moment.

Can you imagine any president from Truman to Reagan and even Bush 41 picturing the Soviet leader (let's face it, he still is) singing the Fats Domino hit best known for, of all things, it's role on Happy Days, a sitcom based in the Cold War days of the 1950's?

I saw Condie Rice give an interview how on 9/11 she called Putin to say we were raising our DefCon and he said they were aware of it and that Russia would stand down, and then she smiled realizing the Cold War was truly over.

This underscores that.

Where is this? Looks like Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn and other stars from the Film Actors Guild are in the audience fawning over Tsar Putin. Please post clips of the opening acts of Hugo Chavez doing Copacabana and Kim Jong-Il's "I'm so Ronery".
