Tuesday, June 05, 2007

MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin has described himself as an “absolute democrat” whose credentials are so pure that he has no peer in the world, a Russian newspaper reported on Monday.

“Of course I am an absolute and pure democrat…the tragedy is that I am the only one, there are simply no others in the world,” he told foreign journalists ahead of this week’s Group of Eight (G8) summit in Germany, the daily Kommersant reported.

“Look at what is happening in North America: The horror, torture, homelessness and Guantanamo with imprisonment without a court or trial,” he told foreign journalists on Friday. afp

I thought President Musharraf was probably the most self-obsessed person i’ve ever known after reading third of his ‘In the line of fire’ book but, Putin has just beaten him.

Well I read all of his book
