I wonder if the Moron-in-Chief will condemn the government's crackdown on peaceful protesters in Russia as vigorously as he did in Venezuela.

<snip>Saint Petersburg (AFP) - Russian police violently broke up a rally in Saint Petersburg as thousands took to the streets across Russia Saturday on President Vladimir Putin's 65th birthday, urging him to quit power.<snip>

<snip>Heeding the call of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny to demand competitive elections, around 3,000 people rallied in Russia's second city and Putin's hometown while more than a thousand demonstrated in the centre of Moscow, AFP reporters said. Protests were held in 80 cities around the country.<snip>
