Putin vs. Clinton
Politicol ^ | 2/15/08 | Ben Smith

Posted on 02/15/2008 7:07:17 PM PST by Jewels1091

When Hillary Clinton said, way back in New Hampshire, that Vladimir Putin "doesn't have a soul," I figured that would be the sort of thing the Russian wouldn't be pleased about. But when I called the foreign ministry the next day for comment, it was Orthodox Christmas, and I let it slide.

He was asked about the remark at his press conference yesterday, however, and indeed wasn't pleased.

The former KGB lieutenant colonel appeared to lash out at U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton — a leading Democratic candidate for president — when one reporter quoted her as saying that former KGB officers have no soul:

"At a minimum, a head of state should have a head," Putin said.

>> “At a minimum, a head of state should have a head,” Putin said.

Is this an instance of “lost in translation”?

No. I think he meant that she needed a “head” to go along with her testicle lock box.

I think it’s probably a bad translation. “head” was probably mistranslated.
It should be Brain not head.

Kondracke nailed the Democrats on Fox tonight, asking why no one among the Drive-bys has asked Hillary or Obama what the hell they would do about Russia.

At the maximum, a head of state should have a state...
Looks like Hillary will not have one.

When President Hillary goes on her world tour to "repair the damage" done by Dubya, I'd like to be a fly on the wall when she meets with Prime Minister Putin in the Kremlin!

It is obvious from his statement that Putin (and probably the rest of the world) does not think that Hillary is the "World's smartest Woman."

So even Putin’s right about one thing. A brain is much better for thinking than certain other organs.
