LISA MULLINS: By the way, Georgian President has also been criticized recently for hiring an American masseuse. Dot Stein, aka “Dr. Dot†usually massages rock stars, including Bon Jovi. We now submit to you Dr. Dot, describing her trip to the caucuses in a video she posted online.
DOT STEIN: When I told some of my friends I was going to Georgia, they're like, “Oh, you were just in Atlanta.†I'm like, “No, not that Georgia. The other Georgia.†They're like, “Oh yeah. You massaged the President of Georgia. You mean Obama?†I'm like, “No. Mikhail. The other dude.†The president's bodyguards brought me on a lot of day trips, most of them involved driving really far and looking at churches. That church right there is from the 1st century. I felt so young. It was great to be in a country that don't hate Americans. In Europe, it's unbelievable. I'm pretty tired of being a whipping post, by the way. But in Georgia, they seem to love Americans, so I felt pretty good there.
MULLINS: That's Dr. Dot, masseuse to Georgia's President, on PRI.
