The media is having swoons over a so called victory of Putin over the other leaders at the G 8.

Somehow I missed the part where Putin did anything other than act like a craven bully, with no real bite at all.

Evidently the media has trasferred the knee pads from slick willie to putin.

Putin is ideal of a correctness in comparison with any of the western leaders.
if you tell about his several jokes, it very difficult to think more polite answer on Aggressively rhetoric of your leaders.
