#1 IMO, only our Zenobia can do justice to this news item.

Vague and uninformative -- that's me!

At Tovarisch Putin's command,
Count Doku has made his last stand!
We may never know where --
Maybe noone was there --
But I bet it was brilliantly planned.

#3 ...I'm thinkin' the 48 hour rule applies here, but Zenobia's comment is definitely a keeper.

#4 Agree Mike.

The only problem with Zenobiaisms is that they almost always put paid to any snark on a thread. We are not worthy 8^)

#6 48-hour rule doesn't apply. The Chechens announced it about a month ago and named a successor.

Unless he's retired to sunny Birobidzhan under an assumed name with a nice bank account and an 18-year-old blonde 'assistant', we can mark him titzup.

#8 I'm gonna miss that picture of him with the sword through his head. He's been a bad guy for a long, long time. I just hope it was a miserable long time; afraid to ever sleep in one place two nights in a row, no hot meals, no hot showers (well, he probably didn't miss hot showers), no warm women. Always surrounded by other bad guys and never knowing if one of them might be a rat.

#9 I just think it is a pity that none of the -stans rhyme with Nantucket.

Head-desk. How'd I miss that month after month? Thanks!

An insurgent of Dagestantasket
Kept all of his eggs in one basket,
Into which, as he prayed,
Putin slipped a grenade --
Now they rattle around in his casket

Meh.
