putin, jr.

well, i guess it's better than his retarded son taking over.  but the dumbest thing in that article was stating that his move ended 'speculation' as to whether he would seek to move back into the presidency.  speculation?  really?  there wasn't too much speculation.  as medvedevedeved assumed the presidency and putin maintained his high profile as prime minister, well the game was up.  you have to admire the efficiency of it all; he didn't have to run his idiot son, or his wife, or evil clone or anything.  he just followed the letter of the law and that was it.  easy peasy.
