Gee...with neato guys like this in Russia, why would anyone worry about launching G* satellites on Russian rockets? Zhirinovsky: Clinton Should Stay Home and Wed Monica MOSCOW -- (Reuters) On the eve of a long awaited Russia-U.S. summit, nationalist deputy Vladimir Zhirinovsky told Russia's Duma that U.S. President Bill Clinton should stay at home and marry Monica Lewinsky. While his fellow-deputies' minds were on Russia's economic and political crisis, Zhirinovsky advised the American president to leave his wife for Lewinsky, a former White House intern with whom he has admitted to having had "inappropriate" relations. "A visit by President Clinton today is untimely, especially considering his recent moral scandal," Zhirinovsky said in a speech during hearings on confirmation of Acting Prime Minister Victor Chernomyrdin in the Duma. "We, as individuals with high moral character, would prefer not to meet a person who still can't sort out his relationship with his secretary," he added. Zhirinovsky has displayed his own moral character by among other things beating a female deputy on the floor of parliament, using his face to sell "Zhirinovskaya Vodka" and making a film in which he cavorts with naked women. "In the traditions of Russian society, in such situations one divorces the old wife and marries the secretary, to close the shameful page," he said. "Therefore, we have said that President Clinton should not come to Moscow. We have more important questions to consider." He also said Serbia, Iraq, Cyprus and Greece were prepared to join Russia in a "new East Bloc" armed alliance to halt the expansion of NATO. Greece is presently a member of NATO. "We used to have a bipolar world, and we will not tolerate the United States running the whole planet from one center," Zhirinovsky said. (ÿ(c)ÿ1998 Reuters)
