U.S. Warns Russia.


Dummy-Dumb warns Pooty-poot that he'd better start being more democratic or there will be no more pajama parties.

The man who knows nothing of democracy lectures the man who could care less, on how to be more democratic. The Bush Presidency is turning from a tragedy into a sitcom.


The Bush administration has warned Russia that the upcoming summit of the
Group of Eight nations in St. Petersburg could be a debacle unless the
Kremlin
takes specific actions in the coming weeks to demonstrate a
commitment to
democracy, according to U.S. officials.

The
administration has privately identified to Moscow concrete steps it
should
take before the July meeting, such as registering civil society groups
that
have been harassed, as a way of deflecting criticism that Russia has no
business hosting a summit of democratic nations. And administration
officials
have sharpened their rhetoric about Russia's backslide toward
autocracy.


And if there's one thing the Bush Administration is expert on, it's backsliding toward autocracy.

I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it.
