A wonderful moment from yesterday’s "NTVshniki" (an NTV talk show). Start watching at 3:40:

Direct link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L45P0-WQ0CI&feature=youtu.be United Russia member Isaev is shown that when you google "party," the result that comes up is "the party of crooks and thieves." kashin should have googled "United Russia" directly — it would have been even more striking:
So, United Russia member Isaev, looking straight into the camera with utterly honest eyes, cheerfully declares: a well-funded mass campaign is being waged against our party, financed by foreign foundations. We all remember well how the meme "United Russia — the party of crooks and thieves" was born, and how it spread across the internet with the help of this little blog’s readers.
But we couldn’t fool Deputy Isaev. He knows perfectly well that this is all the handiwork of Condoleezza Rice, Angela Davis, Soros, and Biden. I suggest that Andrei Isaev come to the next election debate wearing a special protective hat, one that prevents attempts by Japanese and Ugandan intelligence services to penetrate the heavily guarded brain of a United Russia loyalist.
