putin

It is no secret that right-wing authoritarians among us love that big ole’ hunk of bare-chested Russian studVladimir Putin. They like his style of decisive, military incursions of other countries because he is a “decider,” just like their fav, George W. Bush, for whom they achingly long with mist in their eyes.

Weirdly, Putin seems to have tanked the Russian economy. This is something no one could have predicted, given the awesome economic explosion unnecessary conflict usually brings.

Putin, of course, is defiant, resolutely refusing to believe objective reality naysayers. Where have we seen that before?

Given the choice between the calm, thoughtful strategizing of a consummate professional and a shoot-em-up cowboy, wingers will pick the cowboy every single time, and everyone knows right-wingers are good for the economy. Yeehaw!
