| Pooty can work with Yuschenko |
| 2004-12-21 |
| DONETSK, Ukraine - Supporters of presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko traveling in a convoy of 50 orange-draped cars ran into a roadblock of his rival's backers Tuesday and failed to carry their campaign into this industrial city — a center of opposition to Yushchenko. With five days until Sunday's court-ordered rerun of Yushchenko's runoff election against Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, the faceoff underscored the division in this former Soviet republic of 48 million people between the expanding European Union (news - web sites) and a reinvigorated Russia. But in a conciliatory gesture, Russian President Vladimir Putin (news - web sites), who has strongly backed Ukraine's prime minister, said Tuesday that he could work with an administration headed by Yushchenko, a former prime minister and head of the Central Bank. "We have worked with him already and the cooperation was not bad," Putin said during a visit to Germany. "If he wins, I don't see any problems." |

| #2 They are not reporting the secret deal that was reached. From now on, Pooty Poot will taste Cashewenko's food, before he eats it. |

| #1 Hopefully that gesture will 'call the dogs off' in the search to find who poisoned Yushchenko. Or as "DeepThroat" would say,"...follow the dioxin!" |
