PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd witnessed a heated discussion between US President George W. Bush and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, over Russia's invasion of a tiny neighbouring country as athletes paraded before them in the Opening Ceremony on Friday night.
Mr Rudd revealed in an interview with Beijing Now in Beijing on Saturday that he was sitting just two rows behind Mr Bush when an "animated" discussion between he and Mr Putin broke out over Russia's advance into South Ossetia, a breakaway region in neighbouring Georgia.

"The President and Mr Putin were in animated conversation two seats in front of us and I imagine they had a few things on their agenda," Mr Rudd said.

Mr Rudd said that Mr Bush appeared to be making a strong point to the Russian President, even as the world's elite athletes filed into Beijing's Bird's Nest stadium.

2. Like Bush has any effing legitimacy at all. I hope Putin told him to go eff himself.

The United States, thanks to this corrupt administration, has lost all credibility and has no leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing an attack on a sovereign country.

10. all he and Condi can do is talk - we have no money, energy, military to do anything

and we helped cause this by getting so involved in Georgia, didn't we. Georgia is learning the hard way that being our friend is dangerous.

3. LOL! I highly doubt that the Chimp was discussing anything so weighty

He was most likely telling Putin that it was quite a coincidence that they were in the "Bird's Nest Stadium" and as a child he liked to kill birds to watch them die or some other such nonsense. Putin knows the boy King is just a trained monkey being run by Cheney and others.

11. Haha, remember this gem that was picked up over an open mic

at the G8 Summit in 2006?

"You see, the ... thing is what they need to do is to get Syria, to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it’s over."

Yep, just call em up tell them to cut it out or else they get a time out :rofl:

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Arguing over who's too drunk to drive the Trabant, no doubt.

[BrklynLiberal]

6. Putin kept shaking his head "yes", all the while thinking "F**k you, Assh*le!"

[bemildred]

7. "Did you see the ass on the Chinese gymnast? Damn! nt

[opihimoimoi]

8. Lame Duck talking to STRONG DUCK......"quack quack" Putin: "QUACK QUACK QUACCCKKK"

Bush is such an Idiot....A ONE Trick Pony....he only knows how to fake...using Lounge tactics, stale jokes, rubs head, nick names, empty language, BS., Puffed Chest, but worst:

Slow Brain....

9. Now I know why he was bashing that flag and looking pissed!

His "soul-searching" of Putin blew up in his face.

[Spazito]

12. Good point!

I wonder how you say "Fuck off" in Russian, I bet bush knows what that sounds like now hence the rapid flag to leg movement, lol.

[TexasObserver]

13. Bush looks drunk again.

[fishwax]

14. they showed them talking with each other during the broadcast

and it looked heated to me.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

16. I hope * wasn't lecturing Putin on invading other countries. n/t

[rainbow4321]

17. What a bizarre scenario..

something you would see in a movie...festive atmosphere, cheering crowd all around and two pols having a terse conversation about war and destruction as they keep smiling for the cameras/crowd.
Putin probably got a kick out of it. Telling chimp in a place that he couldn't visibily lose his cool or show ANY reaction except SMILE.

[Canuckistanian]

18. It was probably about PS2 vs. Xbox

Although GameCube never came up during the discussion.
