Remember when Bush said that about Putin? Pre-9/11 and everything. Since then, I think, we’ve come to believe that Bush claimed to have looked into his counterpart’s eyes and to have actually seen into his soul: for instance, googling /bush see soul putin/ throws up 346k results. Nonetheless, back then, our president (“President” if you’re the New Yorker) had superpowers (“Soul sense…tingling!”); now only the Scientologists do.
Anyway, Putin's clockwork soul is now on the fritz, and the wear is showing:
“What if my grandmother had certain sexual attributes?” Mr. Putin snapped, the wire service reported. “Then she would be my grandfather.”
The Times style guide is a bit too strict on attributions, Shane added, his blog noted.
