[lbo-talk] Zhirinovsky

[Chris Doss]

This passage just about sums up how the Western view of Zhirik is distorted:

"The key to understanding Zhirinovsky as a political phenomenon is the 
realization that while he excels at getting attention, almost nobody takes 
his ideas seriously, said Masha Lipman, an analyst at the Carnegie Moscow 
Center. "He's often described as an ultranationalist in the West," she said. 
"That's part right. He's a buffoon with ultranationalist rhetoric. He always 
caters to the tastes of the discontented audience."'
