Bush envies Putin

Republican senators want to learn how to achieve the same level of support for Bush as the Russian President managed to get during the recent presidential elections. Senator Trent Lott has made this statement in his interview to RIA “Novosti”.

“Democracy is an evolutionary process. I would like to congratulate Mr. Putin and the delegates of the State Duma with their victory. I would like to learn how we could reach the same level of support for Republicans and President Bush for the elections in our country,” said Lott.

Delegation which has recently arrived to Russia also includes Senator Jeff Sessions (Alabama), Lamar Alexander (Tennessee) and John Cornyn (Texas).

The delegation had a business meeting with delegates of the federal council and head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Sergey Lavrov.
