Rice wants Russia to commit to a free press! But but - I read Pravda

Edited on Sat Feb-05-05 10:27 PM by FloridaPat

in the English version to find out what's going on because we don't have a free press. Is the Bush group a comedy act and maybe we're not getting the right idea? We shouldn't be taking them seriously, we should be laughing?

"ANKARA, Turkey - Russia needs to show a commitment to a free press and other "basics of democracy," and cooperate with former Soviet republics such as Georgia and Ukraine where democracy is taking hold, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) said Saturday."

4. I've often wondered the same thing.....

but you know those guys from National Lampoon were much better!

Remember, pravda had some pretty good stories about our election fraud, I didn't see much here & nothing on faux news.

6. Oh, they're definitively a comedy act --

a circus full of insane, malevolent clowns.

It can be difficult to appreciate the humor though -- because of all the terrible consequences.

...They should definitively add those clown noses and shoes to their act.

7. Did anyone notice

that it was only after Putin started stomping on the oligarchs (they sort of thought it would be cool to run their country pretty much the way business runs this one) that he became questionable to the MSM and the neo-con pantheon.

That silly Chechnia (sp?) thing didn't seem to ruffle any feathers but once he kicked some rich folks in the ass his stock in Bush's eyes went into the dumpster.

Like the one time head of the KGB was ever going to be a shining light of democracy.

8. Uh, has anyone clued Ms. Rice in that the Soviet Union doesn't

exist anymore? I think Pravda and Tass have been able to report freely now for about twenty years.
