Bush has a sense of humor, or is just too out of touch to realize his own hypocrisy

I’m not exactly sure where Bush thinks he can be critical about the state of democracy in Russia, when his own back yard is in questionable shape! Or maybe it’s because somebody else got Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” award instead of him.

Who knows? All I can say is President Bush is in no position to be critical. President Bush is critical of Russian President Putin who has tightened control of the courts and the media and maneuvered to retain power as his term ends. “What will the country look like 10 years from now? My hope, of course, is that Russia is a country that understands there needs to be checks and balances, free and fair elections and a vibrant press.”

Sounds like Bush is upset that another leader is moving in on his shtick! Controlling the courts and media, checks and balances, and fair elections? Are we sure he’s talking about Putin and not himself?
