Blogger Ben Smith of the Politico.com site reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin may not be endorsing Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate who, we’re told, is going to, um, restore America’s reputation abroad, and make the whole wide world love America, or some such.
When Hillary Clinton said, way back in New Hampshire, that Vladimir Putin “doesn’t have a soul,” I figured that would be the sort of thing the Russian wouldn’t be pleased about. But when I called the foreign ministry the next day for comment, it was Orthodox Christmas, and I let it slide.
He was asked about the remark at his press conference yesterday, however, and indeed wasn’t pleased.
The former KGB lieutenant colonel appeared to lash out at U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton — a leading Democratic candidate for president — when one reporter quoted her as saying that former KGB officers have no soul:
“At a minimum, a head of state should have a head,” Putin said.
That’s an owie.
