Oh, come on. Hitler wished he were Putin. Putin the thermonuclear-armed KGB spook, Putin the goon who showed up at a "meeting with ordinary Russians" to ask President Reagan, then touring Russia, hostile questions and join in the jeering and hectoring.
Putin the murdering Osobist slug, who especially likes to kill journalists on their own front porches.
How ya doin' Vlad, ol' buddy? Kill anyone today?
Putin, who was invited to visit George Bush at his ranch in Texas and had a great time.
