Wow, this reporter surely set the cat among the pigeons:

Thank god that moron will soon be out of office.

sigh

whats so embarrassing about it?

@MrBubbles: I'd never expect a journalist to ask a question like that in front of Russia's leader. It's a pretty big question, and one that certainly none of them would like to hear in a joint press conference.

Bush being Bush, didn't help either when answering... And of course, Putin took the opportunity for a jab about Iraq.

Pretty much every moment in the video is embarassing.

the iraq comment seemed to be done in a friendly manner....even evil people can have a sense of humour

He kind of has a point as well. Mind you I wouldn't want the kind of democracy they have in Russia either.

seems to have been a friendly jab i think...

There's no such thing as a friendly jab in politics ;)

Well said Putin, well said.
