G8 TESTICLE KICKING CONTEST
PUTIN 2 BUSH/BLAIR 0
Red faces after Putin jibe over peerages - Telegraph UKTony Blair and Vladimir Putin tried to present a united front yesterday after the Russian president publicly mocked the Prime Minister's difficulties over the "cash for peerages" scandal.
The men exchanged diplomatic pleasantries following talks yesterday afternoon, but struggled to disguise the strained relations after Mr Putin's barbed intervention.
The Russian president used a televised press conference yesterday morning to take a swipe at Britain's increasingly beleaguered premier.
Asked by Alec Russell, The Daily Telegraph's Washington correspondent, about British criticism of Russia's human rights record, he (Putin)replied: "There are also other questions, questions let's say about the fight against corruption. We would be interested in hearing your experience, including how it applies to Lord Levy."
Very funny article Vladimir serves notice that he will no longer be polite
when hypocrites like Bush, Blair and Chaney try to paint Russia as corrupt
and undemocratic.
