BushCo Diplomacy: Rice Tells Putin to Grow Up

Posted by Richard Blair, The All Spin Zone at 10:17 AM on August 14, 2008.

This is what U.S. international diplomacy has been reduced to after seven years of the Bush administration:

"The message is that Russia has perhaps not accepted that it is time to move on from the Cold War and it is time to move to a new era in which relations between states are on the basis of equality, and sovereignty and economic integration," Rice said Wednesday.

If the smarminess of the above quote doesn't quite come through in your head, try cranking up the inner voice of the most annoying heather you ever knew in middle school, then re-read the quote.

Shorter Condi Rice to Vladmir Putin: "Oh, grow up."

That's it. That's all the Bushevic's have anymore -- scolding playground taunts and a whole bunch of MIRV-tipped Trident missiles that they're itching for an excuse to use.

2. I'm a loyal Dem and disgusted former Edwards supporter,
but I share her view of Putin on this.

On the other hand, there have been times when Putin could have said the same to Shrub and Condi.

I gotta call 'em as I see 'em.

3. I cannot stand to listen to that woman talk. She is an arrogant, condescending, stupid neocon.
I shall not miss her smarmy, condescending comments and her arrogant personal demeanor one iota when she is finally and mercifully gone, hopefully forever, from the world stage.

6. These people are INSANE. They think the rest of the world has the attention span of Americans?

7. See how all those years studying to be a Sovietologist paid off
somewhere a typewriter repairman is asking "When can *I* get some attention again????"
