2/25/2005 Putin On the Ritz (sorry to anyone who already may have used this lame title) It looks like Bush and Putin finally did the hokey pokey together and had a typical press conference where they acted like buddies and smiled alot without saying anything. The Guardian actually came out and spoke of the underlying tension that existed in their meeting saying that Bush delivered a "coded but pointed message". Compare this to what Eric Umansky found in his daily news analysis in Slate... from the Washington Post, "Bush gently prods Putin on democracy." Other interesting findings: Maureen Dowd slams the Swiftboat Veterans for their latest assault. And on the increasing fascism meter, a Michigan artist was recently handed a 30 day sentence and a $500 fine for painting Eve on the side of his building with exposed breasts. It looks like he's been given a reprieve until March 4th though while his lawyers attempt to make a First Ammendment case out of it. My question: are his lawyers completely incompetent?!?
