傀儡 Readings - 05-14-2009, 05:43 AM

So I'm reading this newspaper article, and I see "傀儡(かいらい)."

I'm curious: is there a difference between くぐつ and かいらい? It's the same kanji, but I'm curious if there's a semantic difference. Thanks!

The article is about Hatoyama, a Japanese politician, who has been accused of being a Kogawa puppet.
