I wonder if Hell has frozen over. The party of Ronald "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Reagan is siding with Vladimir Putin on the subject of Syria.

Mr. Obama has been derided for being a communist –- for articles, merely Google “Obama communist” –- and various groups feel he ought to be impeached for this (just add “impeach” to the previous search terms). Some of these same people are now agreeing with Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, and a former KGB lieutenant colonel. Within the USSR, you weren’t in the KGB unless you were a communist.
A few months ago, in the pages of the Washington Times, John McCain “blasted” Putin as an “Old KGB colonel apparatchik.” (definition of “apparatchik” is here) Apparently, enough time has passed since then that the Obamaphobic people are willing to be led by a Pied Piper.
The irony is surreal. The Right has gone so far around the bend that it has met the Left. Do they even know they’re being played?
