Not to mention the fact that, for decades, Russians(Soviets, really) had
been adept at getting weak-minded little hillbillies like him to believe
that they were more open than the US. I remember an episode of, God,
what's that guy's name. He single-handedly pioneered TV talk shows in the
US. Before Oprah, Heraldo and Springer. What *is* that guy's name?
Anyway, I'm almost sure you know who I'm talking about. He did a double-
talk show with a fake Russian talk show. Unfortunately for him, he didn't
know it was fake. They had a bunch Orthodox priests sitting like black
crows, stiffly talking nonsense about religion. You could tell it was
forced. Anyway, this fool says then something to the effect of "See, they
have freedom of religion." Meanwhile, the whole thing was scripted. It
would've been pretty funny if it hadn't been quite so sad. Much like JK.
