    It’s cute that you think Putin is feeling any of these consequences himself.

      He is. They are striking gas refineries and abilities for Russia to make money. As Czar, that hits him in the pocketbook.

            You know, I mean it’s the same thing if a man carries a little bag, a little purse in his hand, you know? That’s all it is, it’s a little purse. It’s a purse; that’s all. Some guys can’t handle that word. Some guys who carry them can’t even call it that. They’ll say, “Where’s my little bag?” I say, ”fuck you it’s your purse. Pick it up and get out of here will you?” I mean if you can’t handle the word, don’t carry the bag. That’s all it is a little purse. I got one, big deal. What does it mean? But some people like to taunt you they’ll say, “Is that your purse?” And I say, “Yes it is and I have a picture of your mother in here sucking off an Indian.” And that seemed to satisfy their curiosity.

                Yeah, we lost a national treasure when he died. I was really lucky to have seen him live. I think he had a cold, because he sounded sick and he was a little off, but it was absolutely worth it anyway.

                  Lucky. I wanted to go see him when I was 7 years old in the late 80s. My mom wouldn’t take me. She said “he says 7 things you can’t say on tv.” I said “I know. I want to hear what they are.”

                  My mom decided that wasn’t a good enough reason to go take her 1st grader to a George Carlin show in 1989.
