Cue glorious Gorbasm theme for Mikhail Sergeyevich!

Of course, they would have preferred Georgia just lie down and be annexed...

Nice. The NYTimes gives Gorbachev the opportunity to shill for Russian expansionism, but won’t publish a McCain opinion piece regarding his candidacy to become POTUS (after they’d already published Obama’s opinion). Big surprise.

“A bipartisan commission led by Senator Chuck Hagel and former Senator Gary Hart has recently been established at Harvard to report on American-Russian relations to Congress and the next president.”

LOL! Having Chuck RINOHAGEL makes it bipartisan. Hah!

“If, however, the commission is ready to also consider the interests of the other side and of common security, it may actually help rebuild trust between Russia and the United States and allow them to start doing useful work together.”

How is that “consider the interests of the other side” working in Moscow these days, Gorby?

[RKV]

"One thing that should definitely be rethought: the habit of talking to Russia in a condescending way, without regard for its positions and interests." Well, Gorby ol' son, us cowboys here in the unsophisticated US of A have a bit of a problem with Russia's interests. Turns out that Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, oh yeah, and the Republic Georgia, all have positions and interests too. And their interests run directly opposite of those of Russia. So Gorby, let me see if this communicates the United States position with regard to Russia's invasion of her neighbor, Georgia - "твою мать!"

[TigersEye]

Russian garbage.

"A bipartisan commission led by Senator Chuck Hagel and former Senator Gary Hart has recently been established at Harvard to report on American-Russian relations to Congress and the next president. It includes serious people, and, judging by the commission’s early statements, its members understand the importance of Russia and the importance of constructive bilateral relations."

Oh, yeah, Chuck Hagel, every Democrat's favorite RINO.... this "commission" is something to watch, since whatever report it issues will be presented by the MSM as "bi-partisan" when in fact it will simply be two branches of the RAT-RINO party.

i love this sentence. it reads like a democrat msm pr:

>>>The decision by the Russian president, Dmitri Medvedev, to now cease hostilities was the right move by a responsible leader. The Russian president acted calmly, confidently and firmly. Anyone who expected confusion in Moscow was disappointed.<<<

right move
responsible leader
acted calmly, confidently and firmly
anyone who expected confusion, disappointed

[unspun]

This sure explains Russia's bellicose threats against Poland just lately.

[Clintonfatigued]

I’m sure that Gorbachev actually believes this.

[dfwgator]

Gorby did the exact same thing in Lithuania.

When in doubt, bring in Dumb and Dumber.
