Comparative Politics Humor

My major is Political Science, but inside that I have focused on Comparative Politics, which means I have a kind of weird sense of humor. For example, today in my Russian Foreign Policy class, my teacher said, "While in power, Boris Yeltsin was many things . . . Sober wasn't one of them." Personally, I found this hilarious. So, in keeping with that theme (dorky political anecdotes at the expense of the Russians) here are two videos I found especially enjoyable. The first features highlights of Yeltsin's drunkenness in public. And the other is from a press conference he held with Bill Clinton. It is Yeltsin's response to a reporter calling him a "disaster" and Bill Clinton's reaction. Pretty priceless, if you're into that kinda thing. (Hint: I am.)
