PR Spin: Mean Russians Hate Fun-Loving Georgians


Gawker posted an interesting video on Georgia's president Saakashvili counting Russian crimes against their country. In addition to, you know, invading their country with no cause, Russia apparently vetoed an Olympic-size pool and a movie theater.

Gawker thinks it's PR, Georgia's trying to get the US on their side by tugging our heart strings. In politics image is everything, so maybe it's not a such a bad idea. Too bad all of our troops are involved in a different pre-emptive strike overseas.

Best of luck, Georgia!
