...The One-Minute Pundit

In other words of...wisdom from Wall Street:

Peter Westin, a Russia-based analyst at JP Morgan, said that the news was positive since "Putin stands for stability and security."

Hey Pete, by that standard Cuba's pretty stable too.

"Furthermore, it would ensure political continuity without breaking the constitution," Westin said in a research note.

That's true Pete; and remember, the Soviets did have a constitution, and they had lots of continuity too.

"And with Putin having an 80% approval rating in Russia it would also probably be welcomed by the population."

And if eighty percent of the people like authoritarian rule, Pete, who can blame 'em?
