Putin comment on U.S. election.

[moondust]

Asked about the U.S. presidential race, Putin was complimentary of President George W. Bush, saying he likes him. He is a friendly, decent, predictable person, but "it is not about personalities," Putin said.

He said polls in Russia show 7 percent support for Bush, and 25 percent for Democratic challenger John Kerry.

[ET Awful]

1. Wait a second. . . this article mentions US reps meeting with Chechin

seperatists. Is there more information on this available?

If Bush has representatives meeting with terrorists and refusing to reveal the contents of those meetings to the Russian government, that could be a very damaging revelation for chimpie boy.

2. We gave ASYLUM to one of the Chechen leaders??? WTF, George?

Is this monkey business in Chechnya a way to keep Condi Chips-Ahoy Rice, our resident specialist on Russia, "looking busy"?

4. I thought you couldn't negotiate with terrorists...hmmmmm...

[quaoar]

3. 7 percent of Russia likes Bush?

Careful. They may be voting absentee in Florida this year.
