    The GOP and Putin should really get a room...



    "The Increasingly Awkward Conservative Crush on Putin"
    The Increasingly Awkward Conservative Crush on Putin
    Mad about Vlad!

    BY ISAAC CHOTINER at the New Republic


    "SNIP.................................


    The reason for all this ancient history is the situation today in Ukraine, where an autocratic Russian leader who exudes manly vibes has ordered his armed forces into Crimea. It is unclear whether this move on Russia's part will prove successful, but, amidst uncertainty among western leaders over what to do, there has arisen a new strain of the Burnham syndrome. Conservatives don't just see the west and President Obama as weak; they also seem envious of Putin's bullying. "There is something odd," Benjamin Wallace-Wells wrote in New York magazine, "about commentators who denounce Putin in the strongest terms and yet pine for a more Putin-like figure in the White House."

    Sarah Palin, for example, said this last night to Sean Hannity:


    Well, yes, especially under the commander-in-chief that we have today because Obama's -- the perception of him and his potency across the world is one of such weakness. And you know, look, people are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. They look at our president as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates and bloviates. We are not exercising that peace through strength that only can be brought to you courtesy of the red, white and blue, that only a strengthened United States military can do.

    Put aside the syntax for a moment and ask: is there not a bit of envy here? Isn't Palin very clearly desirous of a tough-guy president who wrestles bears and drills for oil? (The swooning over Bush's landing on that aircraft carrier was a telling sign.) Now read Rush Limbaugh:


    In fact, Putin—ready for this?—postponed the Oscar telecast last night. He didn't want his own population distracted. He wanted his own population knowing full well what he was doing, and he wanted them celebrating him. They weren't distracted. We were.

    Two third of the republicans in Congress would immediately drop their undies in anticipation if Putin stood at any Washington landmark with his shirt off. Republican's man and woman crush on Putin is becoming unseemly.

    Putin Receives Strong Words of Support in Ninety-Minute Conversation With Self

    ussian President Vladimir Putin received "strong, unqualified words of support" last night in a ninety-minute conversation with himself, Mr. Putin confirmed today.

    The invasion of Crimea was the main topic of the conversation, which Mr. Putin described as "extremely collegial and enthusiastic."

    "We discussed a wide range of issues, including how everyone in Ukraine had invited us to come to Ukraine, and also how the soldiers reported to be in Crimea were not actually Russian soldiers but, in fact, local volunteers who looked a lot like Russian soldiers," he said. "There was strong agreement on all of these matters."


    Mr. Putin pronounced the ninety-minute conversation "exceedingly helpful." He added: "It was exhilarating to be able to talk at length with someone for whom I have such boundless love and respect."


    Buoyed by last night's positive dialogue, Mr. Putin said that he planned to have many such conversations in the days and weeks ahead. "It was good to hear how splendidly everything was going," he said.
