President Putin. Again

Putin is hinting that he might run for President again in 2012. And guess who he's using to justify his decision?

"When my friend Tony Blair retired, Gordon Brown immediately became prime minister," he said.

"Were the people of Great Britain consulted on this? No, there was a change of leadership in the country and it was the two of them who decided it."

Thanks Tone and Gordo. You're setting the standard for undemocratic, power-mad leaders everywhere!
