Not so much. Unless you were misreading the initial post. I think the point of the Russian quoted was that Democrats have been more critical of Russia's internal affairs, calling for more democracy, while Bush has not given Putin a hard time about that stuff. Drum, more broadly, was suggesting that Bush talks a lot about spreading democracy, but doesn't follow through. I'm not aware of anything that he's done outside of Iraq -- a separate subject -- to push the totalitarian regimes we support to move to democratize.
At any rate, I only posted it as further to our exchange about Putin's comments, to point to that Russian's quote as supporting my suggestion that Putin was trying to help Bush.
