Joseph Stalin finally died in 1953.

Nikita, following some rather tough 'negotiations' ended up at the helm of the former USSR.

In 1960, while Ike still ruled the world so to speak, Nikita pronounced:

WE SHALL BURY YOU!

And the sombitch took his shoe off and banged it on the podium.

I have wondered for decades how anyone could top that presentation.

Well, never say never:

You see, we have all this news all the time but the big cable channels play the same goddamn news.

Now, CNN broke the mold today in my humble opinion by covering Spanky at the UN.

Now everyone I ever met has some dream about appearing at some gig naked.

Bare-n-naked.

But today, the President of the United States of America appeared naked in front of the leaders of the nations of the world.

AND THERE WAS NOT A GODDAMN THING WE COULD DO ABOUT IT.

Now Spanky will invite some world leader to the White House like previous Presidents.

But Clinton or Bush or Obama would stand at some parallel podium with the invitee and begin his speech lauding that leader.

Spanky does not do that.

Spanky will will initiate the press presentation with some comment concerning the large crowd that attended his inaugeration or his polling data or the bills he recently signed or....

Spanky thinks all of his presentations are the same.

Spanky thinks his crowd is the same crowd he visits whilst campaigning.

So here is Spanky, speaking to the world's leaders and what does he use to open his speech?

I AM THE GREATEST.

This jackass thinks he is Mohammed Ali for chrissakes.

AND THE AUDIENCE LAUGHS

And the jackass attempts to laugh it all off.

And then the jackass reads from the pen of Bannon.

AND I AM, FOR ONE, EMBARRASSED.

I dunno.

There are other news stories abounding.

We have another fascist oligarchist being appointed to the Supreme Court.

Spanky is considering firing everybody who is looking into his financial dealings.

Whatever.

This UN speech really got to me.

The issue is not who are you but rather, who are we?

I just caught this from Seder, who also referred to the bare-n-naked dream:
