Nobody likes Clinton. He's associated with Kosovo and
his buddy Yeltsin.
The Russian liberal intelligentsia adore Bush. It's
part of their adoration of everything American. I
think the Kremlin views him as predictable, even
though he does crazy things like invade Iraq, and
therefore to be preferred to Kerry. Putin and Bush at
least say that they have a friendship of sorts.
Ordinary Russians usually can't stand him and think
the Iraq war is just another example of American
aggression.
Zhirinovsky has gone from recording a rap song called
"Bush Is a Shitty Cowboy" to endorsing him.
