JAL said...: Was he going to kill someone _with_ it? Or _for_ it?

And what's with the wimpy WH response? W, I am surprised.

But them, who takes off a $25,000 ring?

And who takes a $25,000 ring to Russia?; 6/15/13, 1:40 PM

Bill, Republic of Texas said...: Maybe Putin knew the Patriots were cheating and he decided to take the ring as punishment?

This sounds like a scene from a really bad movie. Where the bully takes an item and pockets it and then says "I don't have your ring" and a henchman says " no boss I saw you give the ring back" and they walk off.

Patriots are scum and so is Putin. Who to believe? I don't know or care.; 6/15/13, 1:46 PM
Baron Zemo said...: Hey I hear that Aaron Rodgers got a ring last season.

Of course it was a cock ring from his friend Ryan but hey it was a ring.

Oh.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.; 6/15/13, 1:49 PM
Baron Zemo said...: Of course what the slow witted private fails to mention is that the New York Giants have twice as many championships as the Green Bay Packers.

traditionalguy said...: I noticed Kraft is like Constantine and wants a carrier of the Tebow spirit on his side.

Putin is so Russian. He has a phobia of all powerful outsiders that come near Russia. So he steals an NFL ring to show off the power of an armed coterie carrying 40 cal Glocks...exactly like Comrade Obama's HSA enjoys doing.; 6/15/13, 2:11 PM

We dodged a bullet in 2008.

================
Well, the bloodthirsty, senile old bastard was demanding we send "The Heroes" in as armed advisors to save the "Freedom Loving Georgians". The Georgians at the time in 2008 were getting smacked around after dumbly unleashing several artillery barrages on the Russian allies in S Ossetia.

McCain no doubt had the old Nazi war maps out and being studied by his neocon pals - from the last time Westerners fought there in the Caucaus region. This was briefly raised to a campaign issue with McCain running around saying it was or duty to save fellow freedom lovers and "We are all Georgians Now!".

Georgia was one of about 6 countries McCain wanted to go to war in.
I remember thinking at the time he was demented if he thought Americans sick of Iraq and with the Bush economy collapsing..just wanted some good new wars to spend trillions in.

As was, he still had enough influence to bully Bush into sending two Navy ships, a cruiser and destroyer, up into the Black Sea. Pissing off the Russians, who shortly after, resumed bomber patrols off Alaska and the Eastern US Seaboard.

We dodged a bullet. Bad as Obama is, we really dodged a bullet with the guy wanting all the troops to stay in Iraq indefinitely and start new wars in Georgia, Iran, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Somalia...and "we have to do something to stop the N Koreans - maybe surgical bombing - but that is urgent as well"; 6/15/13, 4:50 PM
Aridog said...: I call bullshit. He owns the patriots? Yes. He loses a ring he goes and buys a new one. Is this guy related to Edward Snowden...his melodramatics are similar?; 6/15/13, 5:32 PM

Lucien said...: Putin just saw the Elvish inscription on the inside of the ring and jumped to conclusions. (Turns out Kraft is an Elvish impersonator.); 6/15/13, 6:37 PM
Browndog said...: Hillary: feast your eyes upon this big red overcharge button

Kraft: take a look at my ring!

Obama: Amatures. Have no idea what commies really want--hey Vlad, check out these British launch codes!; 6/15/13, 6:59 PM
