Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    More importantly, I think @joshuafoust missed oppty to USE this attention to point to other Russian issues worth attention.

        The power Putin wields over there is incomprehensible to Americans. Western journos can't help those girls. @emptywheel @joshuafoust

        @SpaceCoastLaw Is that the point? Or is delegitimizing Putin's power--whether domestically or internationally--the point?

        @emptywheel Western journos praising him for jailing Pussy Riot would hurt him. If Russians ever heard of it.

        @SpaceCoastLaw You may be right. Not sure. I don't think the right does--or has basis to--condemn on human rights grounds.

        @emptywheel Imagine US punks w Russian name going 2 Baptist church & criticizing. Many Americans would view them as hooligans.

        @SpaceCoastLaw Aside from being a totally inapt comparison (we're combating power of small Baptist preachers?) still have audience issue.

        @emptywheel You're right. No comparison. But you don't take on the powers that be with a foreign name.

        No one there cares what any of us think. If Pussy Riot didn't have English name we would never have heard about it. @emptywheel @joshuafoust

        @SpaceCoastLaw Maybe? But to the extent that it has gotten coverage here, it has exacted a cost for Putin. That said who is audience?

        @emptywheel @joshuafoust With the Russian church now intervening for mercy, the whole gig looks like a play by Putin. Tough---->Compassion!

        @bmaz Right--he's trying to contest on sphere of spectacle again, of appearances. He feels threatened in a way he doesn't in private evil.
