The video starts with the representative of the party going over his allotted time in the debate. When the moderator doesn't step in, Zhirinovsky gets livid and takes over the debate.
He begins criticizing the party's intelligence repeatedly, and swears up and down the man is too feeble-minded to be in the same room as Zhirinovsky. At one point, he even criticizes that the candidate himself is not here, and is instead in Washington. Zhirinovsky's reply to this is that it makes as much sense as Hillary Clinton coming to Moscow to run for office.
But the part that just tickles my fancy and makes me all giddy inside comes at the end.
Zhirinovsky starts to order the representative to leave, and starts punching and shoving at him to go. Finally, Zhirinovsky yells to his bodyguards, "Take him out to the hallway and shoot him! Just shoot him for being so stupid!"
Now, this is not democracy. This is EXTREME Democracy! Could you imagine something like this happening in American primaries? How much more interesting it could be if someone would react this way? &
I would LOVE it! We need excitement like this in our campaign races! So, political movers and shakers, bring us some entertainment!
Show us you're REAL people with REAL emotions, and not just mindless drones that are repeating the same things time and time again. And if you don't like the idea of politicians being REAL people, I'll have my bodyguards take you out to the hallway and shoot you... dirty looks.
