My god he's such an extremly macho, macho man. On the manliness scale he's up to 11. It's been a few years since his last manly outing so thankfully he's doing something new and rugged in the wild.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin fired darts from a crossbow at a gray whale off Russia's Far Eastern coast on Wednesday in the latest in a series of man-versus-nature stunts designed to cultivate the image of a macho leader.As laughable as Putin's behavior is, we did have Americans buy into Bush cutting back trees and brush as well as Reagan living on a ranch. Gullible people aren't limited by borders.
Putin held his balance in a rubber boat that was being tossed around in choppy waters off the Kamchatka Peninsula, and eventually hit the whale with a special arrow designed to collect skin samples.
"I hit it at the fourth try!" a beaming Putin, kitted out in black-and-orange waterproof suit and black beanie, yelled to a camera crew from the boat.
