Dmitry Medvedev says Mitt Romney comment 'smacks of Hollywood'

[IDemo]

"I recommend that all US presidential candidates, including the candidate you mention (Romney), do at least two things," Medvedev told Russian reporters on the sidelines of a nuclear security conference in Seoul.

"That they use their head and consult their reason when they formulate their positions, and that they check the time - it is now 2012, not the mid-1970s," said the outgoing Russian president in comments broadcast on state television.

Medvedev said Romney's quip "smelled of Hollywood" because it typecast Moscow as Washington's main enemy from the Cold War era just like in the popular spy movie thrillers of the time.

"As for ideological cliches, I always get nervous when one side or the other starts using phrases such as 'enemy number one' and so on," Medvedev said.

Good looking and rich can mitigate it somewhat, but it will eventually come out.

6. Uh.....Hollywood gal here, Romney smacks more of where ever Beldar Conehead was from

He seems to have been created in some animatronic factory, actually -- never met a "Hollywood type" like that!

Hollywood is way more genuine than Romney.

8. Medvedev is clearly a member of the reality-based community.

He's way too logical, reasonable, and grounded in reality for the GOP.
