No one mentioned the the joke.
Putin and medvedev(sp)go out for dinner.
The waiter asks Putin what he wants? The steak
Certainly replies the waiter and for the vegetable?
He will have the steak also
Oh, I like this joke. I shall steal it and pretend it is mine. 
Putin won’t really be a man until he’s cleared brush on George W. Bush’s Texas ranch.
Nah. He’s gotta match or beat Reagan’s brush-clearing record.
And in this old video that I just had the pleasure of watching, he swiftly counters an idiotic Bushism about democracy.
That, Mr. Bush, is a man. Horseback? Putin can ride in a baby stroller wearing drag and still be more manly. Putin can crush a Hummer with his air of authority. Putin can outspeak Obama with a well-placed ellipsis. Putin, my friends, is who James Bond wants to be when he grows up.
Oh, man, too late to edit but I had to: Putin 2012
I think I’m starting to worship him a little…
He’s also a blackbelt in juijitsu.
You know, I come from a country where the Prime Minister and Minister of Defense - a couple of men I generally dislike - once stormed a hijacked aircraft together. A couple of shirtless photo ops don’t really make that much of an impression.
