US conservatives heart them some Putin.

Over the last 24 hours, the right has responded to these developments with one simple question: Isn't Vladimir Putin dreamy?

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, yesterday:

"I do think Putin is playing chess and we're playing tick-tack-toe," Mr. Rogers, Michigan Republican, said.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), yesterday:

"You have Putin playing chess and Obama playing, frankly, a very lucky game of tic-tac-toe," Gingrich said on CNN's "State of the Union." ... "We are now relying on the Russians," said Gingrich, now a host of CNN's 'Crossfire." We're now following from behind -- not leading from behind. This is not a good long-term position."

Washington Times columnist Joseph Curl, this morning:

The kids have a word for it: pwned. Used in a sentence: Barack Obama got hard-core pwned by Vladimir Putin. Pronounced: Powned. Definition: Completely dominated by an opponent.

Social conservatives' love of Putin at least makes coherent sense. They hate gay people; Putin is cracking down on gay rights; so it stands to reason that that the right's theo-con wing would swoon over the Russian leader.

1. There is a lot of love for Putin coming from the right. That behavior shows their true

objectives and character. The right is nothing but a pit of hissing rodents.

2. if it would give them an excuse to lower Obama, they would glorify a shit on the sidewalk.

I'm more concern about Democrate who prefer the words of an ex-KGB officer than the one of Obama.
