Russian President Boris Yeltsin’s questionable physical condition has been the subject of much discussion lately, reaching a fever pitch with last week’s announcement that he is too weak to undergo a heart operation. What do you think about his poor health?
“My grandpa got sick and old and died. You don’t think the same thing could happen to Yeltsin, do you?”
Laurence Grieg • Financial Planner
“Maybe the U.S. could send him some coloring books to cheer him up.”
Walt Huber • City Councilman
“The rising popularity of the Russian folk song, ’Where is Yeltsin? Is He In the Cupboard?’ is indicative of these troubled times.”
Cheryl Coogan • Gaffer
“I only wish I’d responded to his letters and answered his calls. Now the poor man’s dying of a broken heart.”
Bill Kent • Tax Attorney
“As one of Russia’s top physicians, I’d recommend Yeltsin reduce his beef intake to four giant helpings a day.”
Lenore Post • Systems Analyst
“USA! USA! Hey, if Yeltsin doesn’t like it here, he can fuckin’ move to Russia.”
Peter Frankowicz • Housesitter
