Oliver Stone defended Vladimir Putin to Stephen Colbert. The audience laughed at him.

On IMDB, millennials rate the series 8.8, but older folks around 6. Wonder why? Schools!
Olie loves Castro, Chavez, and now Putin. He should interview Kim Ding-Dong before the drone strike.

When Colbert asked what about the documentary is most surprising, Stone responded, “I think devoted to his country and I’m amazed at his calmness, his courtesy — he never really said anything bad about anybody and, I mean, he’s been through a lot. He’s been insulted and abused …”

At this point groans and incredulous laughter started rising in the audience.

“Abused by the press, in the media,” Stone clarified, which only turned the smattering of laughter into a louder roar.
