04/25/2005 Entry: "Pravda, da! Rice, nyet!"

"As for Rice, she had a very tense meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin this Wednesday in Moscow. She said there would be more orange revolutions in Russia's back yard, she told Putin not to try getting re-elected, and she stopped short of labeling Russia a terrorist state - according to Russian journalists from, among other sources, Kommersant and Pravda. Then she went for an interview at the popular radio Echo Moskvy. Rice - sold by the White House as a Russian expert and fluent Russian speaker, although she never lived in the country - couldn't understand her interviewer "even when discussing the only non-political question", according to Kommersant. She was asked whether she was going to run for US president in 2008. She answered da (yes) in Russian. Then a mental 'ooops!' intervened, she realized she didn't get it, and hastened to say nyet! (no) seven times. It's possible as well that Rice may not have really understood what the NTCT is trying to say."

Well, maybe you don't have to be a fraud, a fool, and a jerk to succeed in bushco, but it sure seems to help. Fluent in Russian, eh? Ninnyhammer. Does Putin speak English, or does he make her use a translator?

One of the best deals anywhere.
