And The Race Is On!
For the title of World's Looniest Madman, that is:
I'm the world's only true democrat, says Putin
"In an interview with Western media released on Monday, (Russia's President Vladimir Putin) rejected Western criticism that he has centralized power in the Kremlin, marginalized the opposition and increased state control over the media . . . "Of course I am an absolute, pure democrat. But you know the problem? It's not even a problem, it's a real tragedy. The thing is that I am the only one, there just aren't any others in the world."
Yes, certainly, I've always considered murdering one's critics to be the basic tenet of absolute, pure democracy . . . puts you right there in the same league with Ghandi, you know?
I swear -- between Iran, North Korea, Venezuela and now Russia, we're seeing competition for The Crazy Crown really heat up.
