Is Putin Being Set Up?

What twisted logic.

Buchanan is off his meds again.

[linear]

One hopes the Mr. Buchanan does not bleed too much from his fight with Occam's Razor.

[Lazamataz]

Pat Buchanan is stark, raving mad.

Always has been.

Always will be.

[kenavi]

I must have missed Putin's announcement about conducting a vigorous inquiry into the death in open cooperation with British authorities.

[Cicero]

To think there was a time that I actually thought Buchanan might be a good presidential candidate.

Of course the alternative was Bob Dole or bill clinton, but now frankly I think Dole was the better choice, even though he ran one of the worst campaigns in history.

Pat makes sense. The whole thing smells. And Putin had better watch his back.

I heard that Putin hired OJ to help him look for the killer.

[King Moonracer]

LOL...Bush's fault.

[Dog Gone]

I'm surprised he didn't blame the JOOOOOOS.

[Little Ray]

Disagree - he wasn't ALWAYS stark raving mad...

[Stepan12]

Cui bono? The Neocons did it! /sarc

[Perdogg]

Off his meds, when is he ever on them??

[Frank_Discussion]

"In an assassination, one must ask: Cui bono? To whose benefit? Who would gain from the poisoning of Litvinenko?

Certainly not Putin."

Actually, Pootie-Poot benefits quite a bit from this. He has sent a very strong, but plausably-deniable public message to dissidents, defectors, and wavering moles that he *will* get them.

Nyet.

[sam_paine]

In tribute to the broken-glass inactivistas, I'm going to stay home this Tuesday and NOT vote for Pat Buchanan to teach him a lesson.

[Perdogg]

No it's the Jews!! /sarc

[shrinkermd]

Buchanan needs to ask several more questions. Would this form of suicide be appealing to anyone for any reason? And, how did this man obtain the radioactive material necessary to do it? Rare radioactive material at that!

In the Russian arena, one must ask "Whose birthday is today?"

[GSlob]

Don't blame him too much - Pat needed a good couple decades long experience of living in the effing KGBland - and then he would know better. What you hear from him is the ignorance crying to high heavens, rather than malice.
