Putin Takes A Holiday
By Wyatt Earp | August 6, 2009
His turn-ons include clamping down on freedom, threatening America, and long walks on the beach.
Vladimir Putin has buffed up his action-man image and raised the pin-up stakes among world leaders by posing barechested for another set of holiday pictures.
Photographs were published yesterday showing the Russian Prime Minister stripped to the waist riding a horse through rugged terrain during a brief holiday in the Siberian region of Tuva. Wearing only green fatigues, his eyes hidden behind reflective sunglasses, Mr Putin also showed his gentler side as he fed the horse from his hand after the ride.
Mr Putin, who will be 57 in October, showed off a set of rippling arm muscles as he demonstrated his butterfly swimming stroke. The photos will inevitably trigger mass swooning by women all over Russia — as well as unfavourable comparisons of their husbands to Mr Putin’s manly physique. They will also confirm the Russian Prime Minister’s status as a gay icon.
Funniest line . . . evah!
Mr Putin camped overnight and went whitewater rafting down the region’s fast-flowing rivers, according to Russian news agencies. Other pictures show him walking through fields with a hat similar to that worn by Indiana Jones, the Hollywood adventurer. (H/T – TimesOnline)
Wow, he makes Barack Obama look like a limp-wristed, mom jeans-wearing, sissy Mary who can’t throw a baseball. Heh.

All he needs now is some flowing hair and “Wild Horses” by The Sundays playing in the background.

He doesn’t make Barry look like anything. His Mom and Dad did all that themselves. Funny they mentioned the sunglasses but I didn’t see any? MUD

I’d like to see him in an arm wrestling competition with the First Lady.

Vlad needs to stop with the cheesy beefcake photos. (or maybe it’s beefy cheesecake photos) Seriously, he needs to get a manssiere, put on a shirt and go find some nice gay bear and ride off into the sunset.

Admiral – Hey, I’m right here! Oh, you meant Putin’s.
Randal – He’s the new Fabio!
Dennis – Maybe he doesn’t want uneven tan lines?
John – NO ONE is William Shatner, save for the original.
Mrs. Crankipants – He’s probably lose to Aunt Esther.
MeToo – Okay, that’s the funniest comment of the day!
RT – I love his chocolates!
BA – Just don’t let him show you his “nuclear missile.”

If we have to have a socialist president, I would rather have Putin, then the guy currently in the White House. Not only does he know how to handle terrorists, he also is dynamite at shooting tigers, diving to bottom of lakes, and hand to hand combat. Obama is good at what? basketball? Come on shooting Tigers is way more cool, plus Putin could probably break 200 bowling.
Not saying I want Putin, just that Obama needs to man up.
