The American said that in a phone call with Condoleezza, Lavrov said, "Saakashvili must go." Churkin didn’t deny it and even joked about it. And the Georgian at the UN is a complete boor. A total creep. I hope someone from our delegation, in keeping with the Olympic principle that "victory in the locker room is no less important," clocks him in the face behind the scenes. There ought to be people assigned for that. Churkin did well. Much as I find his speeches on Zimbabwe and the like disgusting, here he was at his best. And somebody write this down so we don’t forget: after we bomb Georgia, we need to deal with Costa Rica. That brazen old man in the yellow jacket delivered a whole sanctimonious lecture: don’t you dare use the words "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing." The main thing is to make sure our General Staff can find it on the map. Otherwise they’ll miss and hit Panama instead. We’ve got our people there.
