Camouflaged Putin Shoots Tiger, Saves Companions

If pictures of a shirtless and muscled Vladimir Putin have you hungering for more, wait no longer. While having a gander at conservation efforts in Russia's Far East this week, the Russian president pulled the trigger on an escaped tiger with a tranquilizer gun, "saving" the frightened group of Russian scientists who'd accompanied him. Best of all, Putin's heroism was caught on film. Imagine that.... See Der Spiegel.

He's clearly getting pumped for the inevitable staredown across the Bering Strait with the Commander-in-Chief of the Alaska National Guard!

We gotta' take this guy out. And by "we", I mean those who are pro democracy, anti-imperialist, anti-fascist.
This whole Georgia thing is eerily similar to the Sudetenland circa 1938. And Condi is our lil’ Nevill Chamberlin.

We need the moose hunting Sarah Palin to handle the tiger hunting Putin. Good article, it supports the point that Palin can handle Putin better than the sissy boy Joe Biden.

Shooting a moose defenseless moose is exactly like staring into Putins eyes and reading his soul,,and that, of course, is exactly like foreign policy.

Hey Jet,

Yes, you are right, it is just like shooting a moose. Putin decides to invade a little country like HITLER, and the when he is looking you in the face, you put a bullet between his EYES...!!!
That is what needs to be done...HUH..?

"Putin decides to invade a little country like HITLER"??

I thought it was more like George HW invading Iraq in response to their invasion of Kuwait. After all, W looked him in the eyes, plumbed the depths of his soul, and found him to be an honorable man of integrity. And *he* couldn't be wrong ....

Peter, how's Palin going to handle Putin?

Ask for his resignation as an act of loyalty? Or crawl up a tree and wait for him to pass by (the Bush plan, perhaps)?

I'm sure her speech tonight will let us know how the moose-hunter plans on graduating to taming the century bear.

As more comes out about Palin you will reallize she is nothing but white trailer trash mixed will a lot of redneck! She is also a potty mouth, and has no good ideas. Yes, she and little johnny boy really do deserve each other. America does NOT!
