Gia Wren Marlowe 67985 Report post Posted September 8, 2012 I'm pretty sure he's dabbled here and there... As for the context in which he said it, I'm sad he turned out to be exactly as oppressive and crooked as everyone said he was. There was a time, long ago, when I hoped most of the negative coverage of Putin could be chocked up to anti-Russian sentiments State-side. Back then, I would have found this kind of comment thoroughly amusing. Now I just sigh. He says it because he can get away with saying whatever he wants. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All that dabbling, that's why he's called 'Vlad the Impaler'. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
