The following quote from Putin floored me - LOL - because although he is attempting to smear the current government - I have to wonder what he was thinking when he said the following - what? - falsifying the second round of elections on a massive scale is in the Constitution? LOL!

----------------------

"One of the parties cannot be cornered by means of unconstitutional activities. Otherwise other people in the region can say 'Why don't we act against the constitution?'", he told the Guardian during a 2½-hour meeting with western journalists and academics in the Kremlin."
...
------------------------------------
or the following quote - if you follow the logic --- change could mean problems, so no change, no problems - dude should have been around to shoot down Copernicus - no, too much change, too many problems, stick to the old system.

"Student movements, websites, and radio stations helped to bring huge crowds into the street in Kiev to demand clean elections. Mr Putin said Russia was not against change but "we're only afraid these changes will be chaotic. Otherwise it'll be a banana republic where the one who shouts loudest is the one who wins".
