[OBSERVER] On Sunday, Russian TV host Dmitry Kiselyov, who enjoys the largest audience among news programs in Russia, announced in his prime-time program News of the Week the launch of a new documentary, whose goal would be to expose corruption in the U.S.--as opposed to the familiar story in Russian he's sick and tired of talking about.
"This is not fair--to forget about American corruption," he declared, "about how they get fat on the money of American taxpayers there."
The title of the film--Emperor Obama--says it all, but the trailer, lasting more than 10 minutes, was shown anyway.
The first victim of attack was the American first lady.
"The information on our clients is strictly confidential," says the Villa Padierna hotel manager to a young and beautiful female news hound. "But I can confirm that Michelle Obama really stayed in our hotel. She was our most famous guest. Since then, we named one of our villas after her. Villa Obama has three floors, two bedrooms, one swimming pool and a big living room--here is Villa Obama."
"On the fourth of August 2010," the manager continues, as the beautiful young news hound walks around the luxurious and spacious rooms, "the U.S. president celebrated his 49th birthday, and the very same day his spouse, Michelle Obama, arrived for her vacation in Spain. Here is her room." Not ceremoniously, the news hound touches the silk sheets and very rare travertine marble. "Here are the official numbers: for the week starting August 4, 131,000 Americans were fired, losing their incomes and jobs. At that moment, Michelle Obama was on vacation, and the taxpayers were paying $6,000 a night for this hotel suit."
Then, the first lady is shown walking outside out in the Spanish heat. "Michelle! Michelle!" thunders the crowd.
