MOSCOW (Reuters) ? Russian President Dmitry Medvedev could resign from his post in 2009 to pave the way for Vladimir Putin to return to the Kremlin, Vedomosti newspaper reported on Thursday, citing an unidentified source close to the Kremlin.

Medvedev Wednesday proposed increasing the presidential term to six years from four years, a step the newspaper said was part of a plan drawn up by Vladislav Surkov, who serves as Medvedev's first deputy chief of staff.

Under the plan, Medvedev could implement changes to the constitution and unpopular social reforms "so that Putin could return to the Kremlin for a longer period," the newspaper said.

Oh, crap. I thought so until I read your question and went for back-up.

I was posting that thinking that Dave had lost his mind. While it may be lost, his mind did not make those things up.

Heh. I love stereotype humor. In fact, a couple of people at work think I'm gay because of that.

It made me laugh, but I just couldn't see it happening on Letterman.
