I keep hearing people ask, "Is America ready for a woman
president? Or a gay president?" Funny thing is I never heard
anyone ask if America was ready for an incompetent, vindictive,
mentally unstable, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, traitorous
egomaniac and yet, here we are!
At least now you understand what Russians felt when Yeltsin came
to power in early 90s. ;) BTW, one time he was the head of the
USSR Building ministry. Many similarities, in short. The result
was the death of the USSR. ;=)
At least Vladimir Putin had limited experience of being a deputy
mayor of a minor city before President Boris Yeltsin named him
Prime Minister. Which probably is better than having been a judge
of some beauty contest in Moscow.
I have always been sure that Putin was not the choice of Yeltsin himself.
