Disgrace to His Own Country: Evil Clown in Parliament

If there is a politician that gives Russia a bad name it is Vladimir Zhirinovsky! Scandal is his middle name. Famous for his psychotic tirades and flagrant behavior both at work and in public, Zhirinovsky has long gained a reputation of a clownish politician who can liven up your dreary TV viewing session by one of his ranting stunts or even a physical abuse of his bystanders.

A spoiled child of politics, Zhirinovsky has trodden a very risky line of behavior, bordering on insane. But this time he has gone too far, verbally and physically abusing a pregnant woman, a reporter. He tried to publically humiliate the female reporter by sending his two male aids to manhandle her in a mock Orthodox Christian salutation of Easter Holidays, after throwing abusive and sexist remarks at her in front of rolling cameras of state television channels.

Russia certainly deserves better than a world-reknown evil clown in its parliament!

The deputy speaker of Russia’s parliament, Vladimir Zhirinovsky has been urged to resign after verbally insulting a pregnant reporter at a press conference.

The leader of the nationalist Liberal Democratic party lost control when the reporter asked him if Russia plans any reciprocal action against Ukraine.

He responded with an outburst of threats and at one point ordered his subordinate staff to rape the journalist.

One editor at Russia Today television says Zhirinovsky should face criminal charges for incitement.

“Many people have already become used to his extraordinary behaviour but when he allowed himself to openly call for violence within the walls of State Duma all journalists of our agency and colleagues from other media organisations were outraged,” said Dmitry Gornostayev.

Zhirinovsky’s widely known for his anti-Western rhetoric. The ethics committee of Russia’s parliament has indicated that it will press for his suspension
