(Telegraph) Strange I guess it's only natural that Putin would compare himself to past Russian leaders, like FDR. Wait, what?   (blogs.telegraph.co.uk) divider line 21

This is what happens when you let historical revisionism get out of control.

If the banksters of the 1930's couldnt topple FDR, today chattering classes and banksters will.

Before a major power grab, Putin always draws false comparisons to the US. It's his way of diffusing western criticism by throwing it out early - very orchestrated. I think he used the Electoral College / Gore v Bush / thing for something self-serving at some point.

I would vote Putin in for a 3rd term. I know it isn't saying much, but he's the sexiest Russian leader since Peter the Great.

I had no idea FDR killed his critics with polonium soup. Or by throwing people off of hotel balconies.

But somebody at UCLA or Bloomberg would gladly say FDR did things that were morally equivalent.

Russians 'research' polar bears, huh? I trust that about as much as I trust them 'interrogating' 'dissenters.'

Doesn't say how they "research" them, does it? It's not really something you'd want to know, lemme tell ya.

As long as we're comparing him to Roosevelts, Putin is way more Theodore than Franklin.
