Putin sings "Blueberry Hill"

It’s official, I think: Vladimir Putin has gone straight over the edge. We’re talking full on Imelda Marcos ego-obsessed batshit crazy.

Eh - It’s just a bit of harmless fun. Heads of government (and of state, for that matter) do this from time to time. I’m no fan of the man, to put it mildly, but this is a big “meh” in the crazy department. Plus, I applaud Putin’s choice of backup singers.

I think it is awesome. It isn’t quite off the wall as you might think for a choice. I think Putin focused on American Studies in college and spent some time learning the foundations of American music. Blueberry Hill was a song that he learned a long time ago.

We know already.
