The New Iron Curtain (washingtonpost.com)

"It can't be a coincidence that if the Ukrainian election is settled in Moscow's favor, it will mark the third such dubious vote in Russia's "sphere of influence" in the past two months, following the polls in Belarus and the separatist province of Abkhazia, not counting the irregularities that were belatedly uncovered in the election of Putin himself."
Putin: this is the guy Bush really took a shine to. Russia benefits hugely from oil at $50 a barrel. And our election is about equal treatment for gays under the law and a woman's right have a choice on bearing a child, oh yeah, and freedom from terror by "liberating" another county: and we voted wrong on all counts.
