Putin Ready to Be Medvedev's Prime Minister

Like Batman and Robin, Bush and Cheney, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, Sancho Panza and Don Quixote, Festus and Marshal Dillon, Burns and Allen, chocolate and peanut butter, and, well you get the idea. Medvedev and Putin are part of a team.

"If Russian citizens express their confidence in Dmitry Medvedev and elect him as the country's president, I will be ready to head the government," Putin told a congress of his United Russia party held near Moscow's Red Square.

"(We) shouldn't be ashamed or afraid of transferring the key powers of the country, the destiny of Russia to the hands of such a man," he added.

Of course, the real reason that Putin nominated Medvedev has nothing to do with all the speculated political intrigues and loyalties.

The real reason is Medvedev is the only man in the Kremlin shorter than Putin.
