Putin, Expert on Prostitutes.

Today, Putin remarked, when commenting about the dossier highlighting The Emperor's use of prostitutes, that Russian prostitutes were "the best in the world". Here's the full quote:

"This is an adult and, moreover, a man who for many years has organised beauty contests. He socialized with the most beautiful women in the world. I can hardly imagine he rushed to the hotel to meet our girls of lower social responsibility -even though they are the best in the world, of course."

So let's unpack this whopper.

"This is an adult"

First non sequitur. Kids hiring prostitutes isn't a problem, now is it? Or maybe it is a problem in Russia?

"and, moreover, a man who for many years has organised beauty contests. He socialized with the most beautiful women in the world."

Second non sequitur. Child molesters seek out opportunities to work with children, after all.

"I can hardly imagine he rushed to the hotel"

An admission. Apparently, Putin knows what the Ritz-Carlton (where The Emperor stayed) in Moscow is known for -- girl-friendly hotel (link is NSFW). That is, escorts station themselves in the lobby and wait for customers, and customers come rushing to the hotel to seek them out.

"to meet our girls of lower social responsibility"

Insult and irony. What a great guy, huh? But think about it for a moment. He's just distinguished himself as a Marxist bourgeoisie and prostitutes as Marxist proletariats. Karl Marx would be offended at Putin's conception of Russia.

"-even though they are the best in the world, of course."

He says, proudly.

What a guy, huh?
