A reason to be thankful Putin is in charge of Russia

There are certainly concerns about how Putin is running Russia. However, he seems like a real prince compared to the alternative.

Liberal Democratic Party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky can easily be called the biggest jackass in the Duma, which is no small feat. Today, in an exclusive interview with Pravda, he blames Condoleezza Rice's sex life for her tough stances against Russia. Some of what Zhirinovsky said:

"'Condoleezza Rice released a coarse anti-Russian statement. This is because she is a single woman who has no children. She loses her reason because of her late single status. Nature takes it all. Condoleezza Rice needs a company of soldiers. She needs to be taken to barracks where she would be satisfied. On the other hand, she can hardly be satisfied because of her age. This is complex. She needs to return to her university and teach students there. She could also deal with psychological analysis.

In the past, Zhirinovsky has wanted to take back Alaska, reunite the Soviet Union by force, and blow nuclear waste into Germany with large fans. Most recently, he advocated Russians shooting every bird they see to prevent avian flu. He's a big anti-Semite, yet changed his name from Eidelstein at age 18.
