Sad Hoot of the Day

President Bush chastising Russian prez Putin for scaling back on democratic efforts in his country.

Bush no doubt will offer Putey-Poot some suggestions like:

* "hold more elections (Putey, don't worry, I got some rigged voting machines you can use - this way you get the results you want while making the riffraff think they're voting)" and

* "don't shackle the press (just cut off anybody who writes shit about you and be sure you got the press room filled with cronies; in fact, I gotta guy named Jeff Gannon lookin' for some work. I could send him over to ya.)"
