Vladimir Putin is now my all time favorite world leader not only did he turn his Ukrainian nemisis Victor Yushenko into a zombie (http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2004/WORLD/europe/12/11/yushchenko.austria/story.split.yushchenko.afp..jpg) but he has Kasporov wacked with a chessboard. He so rules.

MOSCOW (AP) -- Garry Kasparov, the world's former No. 1 chess player who quit the professional game last month to focus on politics, said Saturday he had been hit over the head with a chessboard in a politically motivated attack.
Kasparov, an outspoken critic of President Vladimir Putin, was not injured Friday when he was hit with the chessboard after signing it for a young man at an event in Moscow.
A spokeswoman for Kasparov, Marina Litvinovich, said the assailant told the chess champion: "I admired you as a chess player, but you gave that up for politics."
She said the unidentified attacker -- who did not reveal his political allegiance -- tried to hit Kasparov again but was hauled away by security guards.
