Since you are a woman (I assume), I must ask your opinion as to whether Putin is (ahem) a "stud." I am not qualified to judge, but this pic makes him seem athletic. Could it be due to KGB training? I wonder if W will jog him around the ranch, have weight lifting, baseball pitching contests, etc.

Well if you must know, when I saw him on TV getting off the plane wearing this shirt I said "&%$* he looks good in that shirt!!" And so I went to find this picture and was not disappointed. Ha ha. I could take or leave his face, but he sure is built nicely. :) On the Barbara Walters interview, they showed film of him competing in a Judo match (he is a blackbelt). He looked rather "studly" to me as he was thowing his opponent to the ground.

I am and he is. In fact, I'd go so far as to call him a Stud Muffin. If he ever broke down and smiled, the fellahs at Rolling Stone would plaster him all over the cover. I doubt that the'd have to help him with an airbrush job, as they helped Algore, who, BTW, is a stiff stuffed shirt, anything but studly.
