Overheard in Moscow:



Vladimir Putin

“Mister Edward Snowden has applied to be political refugee here in Russia, where we celebrate those who defy government and engage in free speech and democracy. If Mister Snowden is to remain in Russia, he must stop leaking documents that bring harm to our American partners, otherwise, who knows? He might find he is no longer anywhere near Russia, or anywhere, period. So there has been no decision yet. Yes, I said partners, as in "Howdy, Partner!" from your western cowboy movies. This does not mean we will turn him Mister Snowden over to American pigs, I mean, partners.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin
