I just learned the other night that Ritter is married to a Russian woman.

Also, I recently read an article on Ritter (on FR) that was written in Nov 2001 (I think) that theorized that Ritter is an agent of the CIA; that made as much sense as anything else I've been reading.

I've been hearing the married-to-a-Russian-woman thing all day today, too, but look: having sex with a Russian no more makes you a Iraqi poster boy than having sex with a liberal makes you a Clintonite.

Re: Ritter in the CIA. Next thing you know, people are going to have him in a book depository window overlooking Daley Plaza.
