McCain is called Putin "Vlad?" If so, Putin is right, McCain has gone bonkers. NOBODY addresses a sitting Russian Prime Minister as "Vlad." To get informal, one first uses the patronymic, in this case, Vladimir Vladimirovich, and even to get to that level, you have to have had quite a few evenings of vodka and piroshki together. Too many characters for Twitter? Too bad. The Russians didn't take "Twitter" into account when setting up their society. I wonder if McCain even knows how to pronounce "Vladimir?" In Russian, the accent is on the second syllable, and McCain probably stresses the first syllable, like Bush Lite did.

Oh, and "Johnny" should know that it was everything he said. He hasn't said much worthy of being taken seriously in the last five years.
