So much for international diplomacy

From the First In blog: When Hillary Clinton said, way back in New Hampshire, that Vladimir Putin "doesn't have a soul", I figured that would be the sort of thing the Russian wouldn't be pleased about. But when I called the foreign ministry the next day for comment, it was Orthodox Christmas, they were closed, and I let it slide.
He was asked about the remark at his press conference yesterday, however, and indeed wasn't pleased.
The former KGB lieutenant colonel appeared to lash out at Hillary Clinton when one reporter quoted her as saying that former KGB officers have no soul:
"At a minimum, a head of state should have a head," Putin said.

Rico says nice zinger, Vladimir...
