French actor Gerard Depardieu recently decided he did not want to conform to France’s new 75 percent tax rate. As an alternative, he has become a Russian citizen.

Don’t know why French govt is surprised at Depardieu leaving 75% tax. He won’t be alone. #consequences Doubt I’d pick Russia even @ 13% rate

Yesterday, he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and was granted a Russian passport.

If anyone tries to get rid of 22nd amendment to give us a third Obama term I may have to “pull a Depardieu” & ask Putin for a new passport!

Some call Depardieu a traitor because of his actions.

@ap Depardieu loves his money more than his country. He’s a traitor to France.

Gerard Depardieu is nothing more than a traitor and a tax fraud. Greedy man!

Gerard Depardieu as a political pawn, poster walrus of negative freedom, traitor to a nation is, altogether, very bizarre.

Laura Ingraham remains outraged that Putin has vowed to sign a bill that would prevent Americans from adopting Russian children.

These days, Putin is surely looking forward to Obama’s post-election flexibility.
