Chuck Schumer meets Putin and makes him smile

It's a blast from the past. 

Democratic Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer may be pushing the Russia conspiracy, but it was Schumer, the guy with nostrils so cavernous, they have their own stalactites and stalagmites, who met with Putin in New York City--not Trump.

Just because the Democratic Party is practically indistinguishable from communism doesn't mean that people shouldn't be outraged that he's going after Trump on trumped up claims that the president is practically in bed with the Russians.

This 2003 photo at the top of this post shows Putin with his shirt on and Chucky as both indulge in a Krispy Kreme doughnut and coffee. (They used to be all over the place in Manhattan, but now there's only the 2 Penn Plaza shop still around.) Putin had come to New York to visit the first Russian gas station of their company Lukoil and to possibly discuss with Schumer what to do about George W. Bush. Why not? It's just as feasible as what Chucky is claiming about Sessions.

Schumer said that day: 

"When I showed the president of Russia a Krispy Kreme doughnut and he ate it and said it was good, that was one of the more surreal moments I've had in politics."

According to a source who wishes to remain anonymous because I made him up, the 'surreal' feeling Schumer had during that special moment the two had shared came from his deep admiration for Russian nestling dolls and their politics.

The same source added that Schumer had, on at least two occasions, tried to get Mr. Putin to remove his shirt.
