Comparing Bush and Putin on democracy, in my opinion is a joke.
Bush said:
Quote:
"Democracies always reflect a country's culture and customs and I know that.
"But they have certain things in common. They have rule of law, and protection of minorities, a free press and a viable political opposition."

I would say the US under Bush qualifies.
PS. I think the Russian reporter actually thought Bush fired the guys at CBS of the Rathergate scandal.
