Chimpy Congratulates Medvedev on Victory in Russian presidential vote
WASHINGTON, March 4 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President George W. Bush has called Russian president-elect Dmitry Medvedev to congratulate him on his win in Russia's presidential election and expressed hope to establish a close working relationship with him, U.S. National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said Tuesday.

"President Bush told Mr. Medvedev that he looks forward to working with him and that he hopes the two can establish a close working relationship that will help them deal with important world issues," Johndroe said.

"President Bush said that he had read with interest Mr. Medvedev's recent remarks on personal freedoms, independent media, rule of law and fighting corruption. The President wished president-elect Medvedev and his family all the best in the lead up to his inauguration in May," Johndroe added.

The United States has expressed desire to work with Medvedev, who won by landslide in Russia's presidential vote on Sunday.

The mild-looking former law professor and senior cabinet member is to replace incumbent President Vladimir Putin as the country's third president.

1. So what's the alternative here?
Everyone knew that this vote would simply be a rubber stamp for the guy Putin likes. If Chimp didn't recognize Medvedev, you would be blaming him for being arrogant and insensitive to Russians. If Chimp does recognize him, you complain he's endorsing a rigged vote.

The best course of action here would be to look forward to working with the Russians without commenting about the vote. But that's another matter.

3. When you use insults...
like "Chimpy" you lower your comments beneath the level at which most people will take them seriously. Grow up and be heard better.
