Richard Nixon on Russian Leaders

"Gorbachev had STYLE -- 
...on the other hand, 
Yeltsin was one who came across -
in Their View -
- as being BOORISH; 
he DRANK too much; 
he was a WOMANISER.... 

(At least, these were some of the stories that came out -- )

He was one who wasn't in Gorbachev's League, as far as STYLE was concerned....
For instance, I remember one columnist -- who's "An Expert" in this field -- 
after Yeltsin had made one of his trips over here, derided him on the fact that he had such poor TABLE MANNERS....
Table Manners, because he licked caviar and butter off of his fingers at a State Dinner.

Well, Let Me Tell Ya -- 
Yeltsin may not know which fork to use at a State Dinner, but he has a VERY Sharp Knife.
As I looked at The Two, I realised that Yeltsin was one who was a POLITICAL Heavyweight,
and some of The "Experts" just couldn't SEE that, because they were BLINDED by STYLE,
and They couldn't see The Real Man who was beneath."
