Georgia: Presidential faux pax · Global Voices
Onnik Krikorian

The Tbilisi Blues comments on the latest gaffe by Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili when he called his prime minister a term considered politically incorrect in the West. The blog says that it is surprised at how many people have reacted to the remarks so strongly given that even losing a war didn't force the often wildcard leader to resign. It also criticizes Saakashvili's plans to militarize the population in case of what it sees as another personal squabble with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
