Spin WOPPA of the Week comes from emergent spin star, the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, whose claim that the war against Georgia was nothing to do with local issues, but really an attempt by the Republicans to get John McCain elected President.

“They (the Republicans) needed a small, victorious war,” he said, by way of explanation.

Naturally wanting to maintain some mystery around the workings of the world’s conspiracy puppeteers, he declined to say much else before dashing off to do a documentary on Siberian or Eastern Tigers.

During the filming of the documentary, Mr Putin saved the film crew and journalist from being eaten by one of the said threatened Tigers by shooting it with a stun gun as it attacked, before tagging it and patting it on the cheek and saying “She’ll remember us.”

Sweet. And no doubt real, too.
