 KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) - Trying to defrost U.S.-Russia relations, Russian President Vladimir Putin graciously said the bass he caught on a fishing trip Monday with President Bush was a "team effort."
But he followed up the compliment with a small gaffe. Putin assigned the wrong number to the presidency of Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush.
"We had a very nice fishing party this morning," Putin said. "We caught one fish, but that was a team effort, and we let it go to the captain."
