Lenin has needed someone to blow his a** off for going on a hundred years; finally, someone got around to it.

A drop in ocean compared to Communism’s rape of Russian history.

The vandals elsewhere in St. Petersburg were more creative:

You mean like, bulldozing cemetaries and historical buildings and paving the sites with concrete?
You are so right!

I could make a remark about the location of the damage and the character of the person whom the statue represents (one scatalogical word would aptly describe both) but I won’t. I’m reminded of the pub that used to be in downtown St. Petersburg that had his red-painted bust in the window, the pub’s name was “F*** Lenin”.

*They’re all probably wearing black armbands at MSNBC.*

Bill Maher and Michael Moore will go on the air and weep openly.

Janeane Garofalo and Al Gore will have a Wiccan/Mayan ceremony to invoke the feckless power of a false deity to smite those who desecrated their hero.

Lenin, the first Communist pope...the vicar of their lack of belief in God on Earth.
