Would You Buy Natural Gas from this Man?

While Wrecks gins up a second war in order to salvage the first (sort of burning the village in order to save it on a global scale), Pooty-Poot channels Tony Soprano, pays tribute to Rupert Murdoch, and gives his soulmate the finger:

Even as the United States intensifies its efforts to isolate Iran, President Vladimir V. Putin said Thursday that Russia would consider OPEC-like cooperation with Tehran on sales of natural gas. He stopped short of endorsing price fixing, however, saying he was concerned only with ensuring stable supplies for consuming nations.

Not to worry:

In the realm of foreign affairs, [Putin] denied that Russia used its natural resources as a political tool...

Ah, I feel so much better now.

(BTW, the Murdoch link is to "Kremlin, Inc.", the excellent January 29th New Yorker article about Wrecks' soulmate and the new Russia which is now online.)
