Vladimir Putin was practicing a eulogy speech for an assassinated Russian political leader in front of a mirror.
"He was a dear patriot and credit to the Motherland, whom I personally adored as a friend and colleague. I vow, as leader of Russia, to find the culprits responsible for this vicious murder..."
Putin then stopped and turned to his aide. "Are you sure this strikes the right tone, Yuri? I mean, in terms of timing? I've been a bit preoccupied, so remind me, when was he killed?"
After a few moments consulting his notes, the aide replied, "Next week, sir."
