25. All I can say is: Bush and Putin deserve each other. Two idiots!
The only reason Bush didn't come off as bad as he actually was is that Putin was not much better.

2. One thing for sure, freepers everywhere will all be nodding their heads
in agreement & in pride. But the words actually mean nothing.

3. Do Laura, Condi and Jimmy-Jeff know about this?
Maybe someone should break the news gently.

17. Hurray!!!!!!!! That's the first time a foreign politician has mentioned
these laws! That's GREAT!

I was wondering if he'd dare after all of Bush's talk about Putin drifting away from democracy!

8. He probably means just what he said: After some gentle pression
by the WH Putin was made to make some decisions. If Putin wasn't willing to give the mass murderer something Bush wouldn't have set foot in Russia. When it comes to visits of heads of state the decisions are made beforehand, the papers are drawn up beforehand. The actual meeting is only for pretty pictures on the tax payer's money. In this case the European taxpayer's money.

18. "Why do't you talk about the violations of rights of journalists
in the United States?"--question from Russian journalist.

WHOA.

Bush's answer: "They're a nice bunch of folks.." (journalists)

26. Thank you, too - and it's LEGAL *g* As I heard yesterday at the
Anti-Bush-demonstration in Mainz it's ILLEGAL in Germany to say that Bush is a war criminal but it's legal to demand he go to The Hague :)

It's probably illegal to state that I'm convinced he is a mass murderer.

27. It means nothing!
Judy Woofwoof and Heritage Foundation's Brookes were spinning it right along those lines, as well. Their supposedly great "relationship" is what will make a big difference, a la Reagan and Gorby.

Chimp keeps saying "Vladimer" understands that Iran shouldn't have nukes, yet Pootie-Poot is going to sign a lucrative deal with Iran to give them a nuclear reactor.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1620635

I always get the feeling Putin is laughing inside at what idiots our "leaders" are, and how easy it is to get over on them.

28. They certainly did not look like they have a great relationship
Edited on Thu Feb-24-05 01:07 PM by blue neen
at that news conference. It seemed to be extremely "chilly" in there.

Of course, Judy wouldn't have noticed that. Keep on spinning, WoofWoof.
