Stoiber calls Bush "President Brezhnyev"

[minionofmidas]

No really. I'm not making this up.

Seems to have been unintentionial.

[Middle-aged Europe]

No really. I'm not making this up.

I confirm it.

The mix-up probably happened because both are presidents whose last names start with a "B". That's enough for a quasi-dyslexic like Stoiber .

I confirm it too. Maybe he´s starting to get senile ...

Starting?

[Michael Z]

Was it to his face?

No.

[Colin]

Brezhnyev?

This man should be a retirement home; good thing his time in the CSU seems to be at an end.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Can't you see the stunning similarities?

A few old Russian jokes about Brezhnev:

At the 1980 Olympics, Brezhnev begins his speech. "O!" -- applause. "O!" -- more applause. "O!" -- yet more applause. "O!" -- an ovation. "O!!!" -- the whole audience stands up and applauds. An aide comes running to the podium and whispers, "Leonid Ilyich, that's the Olympic rings, you don't need to read it!"

"I asked for a 15 minute speech! Why did it take one hour?" a flustered Brezhnev shouted. "Comrade Brezhnev, it was a 15 minute speech," says the speech writer, "you've just read all four copies..."

Is it really that surprising that he'd make the confusion?

There were many good Brezhnev jokes back in the day. Another one I recall is:

 "What are the signs of caviar poisoning?" "Eyebrows thicken and speech gets slurred"

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

Was it to his face?

No.
