Political "dirty tricks" have hit a new low. Yes, we all know Russia is rather quickly falling behind in the democracy stakes, but this... well, this is something else. Radiation-poisoning dissidents, murdering troublesome journalists: terrible, tragic, hard to laugh at. Menacing Kremlin critics with an air-borne phallus, it's awful, childish provocation. Yet it is still a flying dick. A cock with wings. Who could not suppress a snigger?
The attack happened as professional Putin-baiter Gary Kasparov addressed an audience of anti-Kremlin dissidents, it is believed the sick stunt was organized by a pro-Kremlin, youth gang. After the penis-copter was destroyed by an assistant the former chess champion turned political dissident managed to get the last laugh, quipping:
"We have to be thankful for the opposition's demonstration of the type of discourse we can anticipate. Also, apparently most of their arguments are located beneath the belt."
