So this happened in Germany the other day.

Courtesy of Newsmax: 

Russian President Vladimir Putin admitted he "liked" the topless protesters he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel encountered while touring an industrial fair in Hanover Monday. 

The women, who appeared to be representing the feminist Ukrainian group Femen, were stripped to the waist and painted with the slogan "f*** dictator." 

"As for the protest, I liked it," Putin said at a press conference after the fair. The event's organizers should "say thank you to the Ukrainian girls, they helped you promote the trade fair," he said. 

On its Facebook page, Femen said the protest was an "anti-dictatorial attack on Putin." The group criticized the Kremlin, Russia's Federal Security Service, and the Russian Orthodox Church, saying that Femen was against "dictatorship, homophobia, and theocracy." 

So I guess evil dictators don't mind being protested against just so long as you are topless.

By the way the woman were incredibly aggressive and essentially launched themselves in Putin's direction resulting in some not very delicate handling by his security staff.

As you can see for yourself in this video of the interaction.

(I kind of feel badly for Merkel here as she looks completely freaked out by the painted breasts being thrust in her direction.)

Somehow considering just how Putin deals with his detractors ("What another political enemy died in his sleep? What a bizarre coincidence!"), I guess acting like a misogynist pig is probably hardly worth a mention.

    OT regarding Palin's Tesla comments

    In 2010, Tesla received $465 million in loans from the Department of Energy. The company was supposed to pay the loans back over 10 years, but announced last month that it's repaying the money on an accelerated schedule and will finish payments five years ahead of schedule.

    Musk responded to Palin's words with a bit of sarcasm. "Sarah Palin calls Tesla a loser," he wrote on Twitter. "Am deeply wounded." He added that the warranty for Tesla's Model S sedan does cover "bricking."

      Every time I see Dobbie, it reminds me of Paul Krugman's article

    1. You do know he's a poisoner and assassin--by trade? It's okay though, you're in good company with Dubya (who liked to call him “Putie").

      Must have been those shirtless images of "Putie".

  4. Breaking News: “evil dictators," and Vlad Putin certainly, don't mind being protested against generally. Titties are just cherry topping.

    I think little Vlady, deep down, is scared out of his mind. That was probably the first time he saw real breasts.

    I hope Angela didn't accept anything edible or potable from this killer. People have an odd way of passing on from mercury poisoning after encountering little Vlady.
