...this starting to sound familiar? Of course, it does. It's the sound of history repeating itself, the second time as farce. It's Max Bialystock, the crooked Broadway impresario in The Producers, after getting caught ripping off old ladies with Springtime for Hitler, trying the same con behind bars with Prisoners of Love.

The terrorists are our Hitler, and the drug dealers are our U.S.S.R. We must assign a higher priority to our external enemies even as we care...
...Germany for the U.S. and later established an esteemed gallery in postwar Paris. In the mid-1990s he famously moved his formidable collection to Berlin. Hailed for the conciliatory gesture by a once exiled Jew, he helped reinvigorate Germany's collection of modern art, earlier dismissed as degenerate by Hitler...
