Smackdown of the Week: Vladimir Putin

For the following two pointed barbs leveled at Cheney and Bush, each of which could have been written for him by Jon Stewart.

Regarding recent criticism by Dick Cheney of Russia's democratic reforms:

"I think the statements of this sort by your vice president are the same as an unsuccessful hunting shot."

In a joint presser at the G-8 summit with the Moron-in-Chief, who had barely finished a remark about Iraq and democracy:

"We certainly would not want to have same kind of democracy as they have in Iraq, quite honestly."

I never in my life thought that I would see a former head of the KGB mocking our president in public, and I would be laughing.
