… but the Washington Post calls it a Mutual Admiration Society
While Speigel is seeing a Bush who tells things like they are the Wasington Post calls it The Bush-Putin Mutual Admiration Society. It’s funny how these things are seen differently.
In the first test of the lofty promises from Bush’s inaugural address, in which he vowed to confront “every ruler and every nation” about internal repression with the goal of “ending tyranny in our world,” Bush gently chided Putin by noting that “democracies have certain things in common: They have a rule of law and protection of minorities, a free press and a viable political opposition.”
I guess the post wanted to see Bush leading Putin around by a leash.
