Putin is lower than whalesh*t...
If whalesh*t would give us a flax tax like they have in Russia now, I'd be supporting whalesh*t for president.
Yes, it's a time-honored psychological strategy that we're most accustomed to seeing employed by the Dems. Freud called it "projection". Its practice offers a multitude of psychological rewards, both short and long-term. Its main value is in painting your current adversary with the worst characteristics you fear are in you yourself, so that you yourself don't have to indentify and confront them in yourself. At the same time, utilizing the sneaky practice of "misdirection" you are calling everyone's attention to the adversary and his evil ways, thereby drawing everyone's attention away from yourself and your evil ways.
I looked up "Þðèé Äîëãîðóêèé" but I didn't see any US sites. Can you buy it over here?

Interfax quoted Lavrov as saying that Akhmadov's involvement in terrorist activities was "well known" to the Americans."
Putin had a chance to be a good ally in the WOT. It was an historic opportunity. Instead he plays games using the WOT as a cover to spread his authoritarian power.
Putin would love us all to confuse Chechen separatists with Chechen, Al Qaeda linked, child killing, terrorists. I for one, won't be fooled.
The Cold War has returned all the while the WOT continues.
Here's some comments on the vodka: http://www.vodkaphiles.com/custrev2.cfm?Vodka=Youri%20Dolgoruki
Tell me if you ever get a chance to drink it, you won't be disappointed. I bought some other great vodkas while I was over there, but no chance finding them here. BTW, I normally don't drink hard alcohol and always hated vodka. So don't think I'm some drunk :)

I like him, too, in some ways. I thought he would be good for Russia but somehow that's not happening. It ain't over til the fat lady sings, but...I do agree about his being an ally against radical Islam, though. Beslan woke him up a bit.
