Christopher Wren, of all people, joined the funereal frenzy on The Dennis Miller Mortuary Hour. (I think that's the name of the show.) As a few of you may recall, Wren was a longtime Moscow correspondent for the New York Times. He told Miller to beware of Vladimir Putin -- after all, Putin used to be KGB.

I quite agree, Christopher. You just can't trust anyone who ever worked for spooks.

(Wink!)
