Putin Endorses Bush
Hah! As Matthew Yglesias has recently written in his blog (http://www.matthewyglesias.com) Bush is leading a "Putinization" of the US.

How appropriate then that the President's TRUE friends in the international community defend him:

http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/10/18/putin.iraq/

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin says terrorist attacks in Iraq are aimed at preventing the re-election of U.S. President George W. Bush and that a Bush defeat "could lead to the spread of terrorism to other parts of the world."

<snip>

"Any unbiased observer understands that attacks of international terrorist organizations in Iraq, especially nowadays, are targeted not only and not so much against the international coalition as against President Bush," Putin said.

"International terrorists have set as their goal inflicting the maximum damage to Bush, to prevent his election to a second term.

"If they succeed in doing that, they will celebrate a victory over America and over the entire anti-terror coalition," Putin said.

"In that case, this would give an additional impulse to international terrorists and to their activities, and could lead to the spread of terrorism to other parts of the world."

4. Putin is just following the criminal code.
What would really seal the deal for many - is if Putin were to say somethng disparaging about Kerry.

"To be cursed by the devil is to be truly blessed."
