putin 08!
I don’t think the Doc will agree with that one!
LOL
I have to say that Putin gets things done in Russia. I studied him in college.
His political party is centrist and nationalist, not communist.
That being said, he disregarded the Marxism of Stalin but kept his secret police and totalitarianism.
NOBODY criticises Putin in Russia, if you want to live. The Russian parliament does whatever Putin wants.
Hows the Camera?
Bush’s back in 2001 said he looked into Vladimir Putin’s soul and liked what he saw, an international equivalent of his “heckuva job”. Bush’s endorsement of Putin was partly a matter of calculation; when he says glowing things about foreign leaders in public, he tells those leaders in private how he expects them to deliver. But with Putin, Bush seemed to be playing Ned Flanders to the Russian’s Tony Soprano.
John McCain’s assessment of Putin stands up much better: He said that, looking at Putin, he “saw three letters: a K, a G and a B.”
Seems like Savage and many of his listeners agree with Bush on this one. NOT ME. McCain got it Right.
