In a surprise move, the Soviet Union re-formed in order to support Bush.
"Democratskis and their kind made imperialism unpopular for a while there," said Eduard Shevardnadze, recently decently deposed Prime Minister of Georgia and newly appointed Komsomol head, "but this whole adventurism of the U.S. has shown us we can pick up where we left off. And Yes, I'm looking at you, Poland."

That might just be the single most fucked up thing I've ever heard. Too bad it makes so much sense.

You would think they would realize that they are probably next.

Jesus

Add this to the endorsements by Iyad "Summary Execution" Alawi of Iraq and the former KGB goon running Russia's democracy into the ground, and the cognitive dissonance begins to resemble vertigo.

This is the best article I've seen on the wire in a while

It is amazing how easily a foreign government that is our enemy can so easily manipulate the american media and the american people as proven by the comments above into thinking that they really mean what they are saying. They are saying they are endorsing Bush knowing that people in america would see that as something negative towards Bush. It doesn't matter who you are voting for, this should be seen as simple and easily recognizable propaganda.

Lepton, that is as crazy as the Democrats introducing a bill into congress to reinstate the draf... oh wait.

Sadly, neither the reformation of the totalitarian "republic" nor its putative dictators endorsement of Bush are jokes.

Those damn liberal democrats. Always pushing their moral agenda on other people.

I pray to God that this article gets picked up by all the major press outlets and that they run with it fully. This is so fucking great!

It is great - if true Iran, like Libya before them (and hopefully soon Syria) are obviously making attempts to mend bridges. They weren't so eager BEFORE the wars on the Taliban and Saddam.

Former member states with
a) no oil
b) no oil pipelines
c) no oil refineries
are doing just great vis a vis pressure from moscow.

I mean, insofar as it is great to be a thouroughly depressed client state.

No, russian agression in the last years isn't funny at all. I find the russian empire just about the most depressing saga of the last 200 years.

But Shevardnadze being appointed head of Komsomol is, just a little, funny.
I can just picture him in shorts and a little cap.

That last quote about the Demorcrats putting pressure on Iran for their incredibly disgusting human rights record is just hilarious. The irony weighs so heavy that I feel even fatter than usual.
