Pooters,

Oh, that tidbit was date stamped March 13th, 2008. The former CEO of Gazprom is still in jail. Pootie claimed all of the man’s wealth in the company for himself. He’s no longer predident of Russia, but he’s rich as all get out. In the past two years, Pootie has decided that contracts that he made with BP, ELF, Exxon and others had to be re-written (in respect to the Kazakstan oil field), unilaterally deciding that Russia (and himself) was entitled to more than an 80% greater share than originally negotiated, although these companies provided all of the geological, engineering, hardware and transport to develop the Caspian Sea, which isn’t even in Russia. They all capitulated.

You go Rudi. Is this corruption, seeing that Russia is intemidating its partners and withholding energy from your constituent population?

MOSCOW: Russian state-controlled natural gas monopoly OAO Gazprom and Ukraine on Thursday announced an agreement on gas deliveries for the rest of the year, apparently putting an end to a dispute that had been watched nervously in Western Europe.

. . . .

The Russian company previously cut shipments by up to 50 percent for several days last week.

Russia had previously cut off all shipment of gas and other petroleum products to Georgia for months.

Imagine what would happen in the US if the government shut off the gas for even a few days.

Go Rudi go! No doubt, your deal with the devil with pay huge returns. Hope (?) you live to enjoy.

BTW, Ukranians are an intransigent bunch. Their tolerance for Jews only matches the level of sociotal corruption. They have a very low tolerence for reform. Polonium is seen as a cure . . . watch out Rudy suchi bars are not your friends . . .unless of course, Pootie offers you a little oil bootie . . . but even then . . .

There was a time, long ago, when both John McCain and Rudy Giulliani rooted out corruption. Remember when, against the wishes of Bill Clinton, Giulliani refused PLO chairman Yassar Arafat admission to a gala at Gracie Mansion, the Governor of New York’s residence, because the PLO tossed a wheel-chair bound Jew off of the Achillie Largo cruise ship.

What has happened to these American heros?

Greed and fame has gotten the best of them. Their fall from grace has been precipitious and tragic. They believe in their lost laurels. We see them as they are today, not for the deeds that gained our respect and admiration in the past.

They are junkies, jonesing for their next hit . . . only they debase the people who promoted them to such stature . . . today, they just want to steal from you for their next hit.

That must have been one helluva sales pitch. While Giuliani appears uniquely qualified for the job, NY politics and corruption have nothing on their Ukrainian counterparts. Along with the obvious language barrier, Rudy has to contend with major cultural issues too. And it’s not like he ever won awards for lingual and cultural sensitivity.

“Ukrainian candidate hires Giuliani to help ‘corruption take root.’”

There, that makes much more sense.

I have no doubt that Rudy is more than capable of rooting out corruption. He has a talent for finding business opportunities.

Although putting Rudy on a plane to Kiev is a good start.

Vitali Klitschko plans to spend the next few months in Florida, monitoring Rudy’s efforts in Kiev, Georgia.

Rudy claims that plane has worked well for him, and…

Way to go, 9iu11ani!

I fully expect to see Vitali Klitschko begin answering phone calls during press conferences, enthusiastically support torture, and focus all of his campaign money on one oblast. That’s a winning strategy indeed!

What does that say about the media’s current crush on McCain?
