Smile! You’re in Politics (Funny Pics, Part 4)
|
If you’re not having fun doing politics, then you chose the wrong kind of business Politicians are often convinced that they need to take themselves seriously 100% of the time. However, such glum attitude often leads to sore miscalculations and bizarre ambitions like the Doomsday Machine (see Dr. Strangelove). The following pictures show that there is room for humour in the thick-and-thin of politics, up to the highest political level. The countries which these politicians represent should be proud of their leaders. Loosen up! Politicians in Paroxisms of Thought and Deliberation Prince Charles, in a happy mood:

Here is a rarely-seen photo: during Ronald Reagan’s visit to Moscow in 1988, there is a man standing on the left, with cameras (pretending to be a tourist). This is Vladimir Putin, just doing his job at the time.
At the end of the day – satisfied handshake:
Serious business:
“No!” says the propaganda poster, “Yes!” says Dmitry Medvedev:
Dmitry Medvedev in his younger years:
There are no politicians in this picture, but this is what much of the politics is about: GOLD!
