Yes. Vladimir Zhirinovsky needs to die next (or should we keep him for amusement? He is so crazy, he's kind of entertaining).

His father is a Polish Jew (Eidstein), Zhirinovsky is his mothers last name, which he adopted later in life. He is well educated, and personally I don't care if hes Jewish, Chechen or Tatar, being Russian is a state of mind, ethnicity is hardly important in my oppinion.

Let me rephrase -- a Jewish man who is also an anti-semite is a weird idea IMHO (although not a new one).

Hes a patriot, and while most people won't vote for him, they are glad hes there, hes their dark conciounce. Like they say, If there wasn't a Zhirinovsky, someone would invent him.

A "patriot"? The son of a b*tch is a disgrace for all of us.

Disgrace ? I think not, he just expresses the sorrow and anger we all felt in our hearts at the demise of our great nation, in a much more explict fashion.

Kim Jung Il !? What an insult, that odd looking gook. Vladimir Wolfovich is far more entertaining.

Likes Russian women...who knows...perhaps N. Korea's next ruler will be half-Russian?

Zhirinovsky is a KGB creature. This fact is well-known and often discussed in Russian media. The project "Zhirinovsky" was designed to divert the most agressive and marginal part of Russia's population. Fortunately it is only 6%. It is curious that in spite of his bright "opposition" rhetoric (for public) he very seldom votes against goverment's decisions. I am sure the votes of his party's members just have their certain price.
He is in no way "idiot". He plays his role of clown very well. And amuses most of Russians, even those who never vote for him. During last parlament elections he hardly was able to collect neccesary persantage of votes to come to the parlament. When a friend of mine (which never participated in elections) learned about it he exclaimed "How! Without Zhirinovsky the Duma will be too boring" and even intended to go to vote for Zhirinovsky (it would be the first elections in his life). Fortunately he was too lazy for it.

As to his ethnicity once he was asked about his ethnicity by a journalist. His answer have become famous: "My mother was Russian, my father was a lawyer". Now it is something like a proverb in Russia.
