Vladimir Putin has mocked the state of US politics by joking that it is "difficult to have a dialogue with people who confuse Austria and Australia".

"There is nothing to do about it. Apparently that’s the level of political culture of a certain part of the American establishment," the Russian President said, according to state funded broadcaster, RT.

He added: "America is really a great nation and the Americans are a great people if they can endure so many people with such a low level of political culture."

Mr Putin was referring to a 2007 gaffe by former US President George W Bush, when he thanked then-Australian leader John Howard for visiting Austrian troops in Iraq.

Someone ought to ask Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee about this.  (Hey, I'm no racist.  I'm just pissed off about how stupid Democrats sometimes prove to be.)

Well, Obama thought that "Austrian" was a language.
