Zat you Santa Claus?
Well what else do we have for today’s special picture series, “Insane World Leaders Looking Insane Again”? How about Ren Faire sex hero Vladimir Putin, the once and future Dwarf Lord of Russia, clad in the fur-skins of eleven slaughtered Mongols, his belly full of youngling’s blood, a-ridin’ out to the Valley of Armageddon? How about that? [Foreign Policy via Wonkette operative "Aaron S."]

Clearly watched “Dersu Uzala” too many times.

I know somebody who wants a Blu-Ray of The Postman for his birthday.

WickedWitch March 15, 2010 at 5:22 pm

Maybe he could lend a pair of pants to Rielle.

Monsieur Grumpe March 15, 2010 at 5:23 pm

I can’t tell where the horse’s ass stops and Putin begins.

comicbookguy March 15, 2010 at 5:27 pm

He’s hunting Olympic judges

Tommmcatt March 15, 2010 at 5:29 pm

I’s still vote for him over Mittens any day.

queeraselvis v 2.0 March 15, 2010 at 5:29 pm

Meh. Needs more “Lara’s Theme.”

user-of-owls March 15, 2010 at 5:32 pm

For all the meticulous image management this guy has, you’d think the FSB would have put polonium splenda in the tea of these photographers:

Oh, and after the ride picture above?

Extemporanus March 15, 2010 at 5:37 pm

Is that a Rielle Hunter hat, or is it a fake?

edgydrifter March 15, 2010 at 5:37 pm

Holy shit! The Palin Prophecy comes true! There he is–Putin–rearing his head over Bristle and Frag whilst they cower at the approaching thunder of his war-steed! Ia! Ia!

AxmxZ March 15, 2010 at 5:40 pm

…I want that pony.

TGY March 15, 2010 at 5:41 pm

Vlad Putin is not amused.

[re=530844]Extemporanus[/re]:

Hmmm. I’m betting it’s a trophy merkin he got from Orly Taitz.

lazynamepicker March 15, 2010 at 5:43 pm

OMG! He and Sarah Palin would make such a cute couple! Palin-Putin. or Putin-Palin. Just think about.

user-of-owls March 15, 2010 at 5:55 pm

Well, poo. I posted a well-researched and trenchant comment about how Vlad’s image consultants, as meticulous as they are, sometimes let things slip through the polonium-laced cracks. But it got eated. So, just image search “putin kissing”, wherein you’ll find a bounty of the Fearless Leader smooching:

a boy’s stomach
a fish
two dolphins
an orthodox bible
a horse
Kim Jong Il
a lap dog

Oh, and when he’s not in on the lip action, he gets a good ass rub in…on that perennial grope favorite, Angela Merkel.

Hooray For Anything March 15, 2010 at 5:55 pm

Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin’
Rawhide!
Rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for leather
Wishin’ my gal was by my side.
All the things I’m missin’,
Good vittles, love, and kissin’,
Are waiting at the end of my ride

Move ‘em on, head ‘em up
Head ‘em up, move ‘em on
Move ‘em on, head ‘em up
Rawhide
Count ‘em out, ride ‘em in,
Ride ‘em in, count ‘em out,
Count ‘em out, ride ‘em in
Rawhide!

Nice Dylan line in the sur-head or whatever you call it. Even the pawn must hold a grudge!

Part of a series of reenactments of famous historical paintings by Putin. Next week: Manet’s Dejeuner sur l’herbe.

BlueStateLibtard March 15, 2010 at 6:24 pm

What the hell kind of commie bridle has he got on that poor horse? Plus, the “horse” looks like a pony to me. I bet Putin’s feet are dragging in the snow. Fail.

Barrelhse March 15, 2010 at 6:25 pm

Maybe he’ll fall down the steppes.

Pithaughn March 15, 2010 at 6:28 pm

Hmm, he is dressed fairly warmly for such a warm day. Notice no steam coming from horse’s nostrils or mouth.

Bearbloke March 15, 2010 at 6:31 pm

[re=530815]One Yield Regular[/re]: Indeed he has!

I wonder what Putin thinks of A Clockwork Orange

Does one go commando under shearling pants?

coolcatdaddy March 15, 2010 at 6:46 pm

Wait …. I don’t remember Lara riding around on a horse in Dr. Zhivago….

Accordion-o-rama March 15, 2010 at 6:47 pm

Recurring theme in Slavic folk song:


Hey there, fair maiden
My horse is tired and thirsty
Go the well
And fetch some water
In your lovely piebald jugs.

Oh Sir,
You horse is indeed a mighty beast
And has ridden long and hard
Here is water so that it may be soothed

Monsieur Grumpe March 15, 2010 at 6:49 pm

I honestly don’t have much of a fashion sense so please tell me if I’m wrong but, wouldn’t that ensemble just be fabulous with a rhinestone nutcup?

Citizen Kang March 15, 2010 at 6:55 pm

[re=530819]Nappied Hypotenuse[/re]:

He wants the Kevin Costner triple-threat edition: Waterworld, The Postman, and 3000 Miles to Graceland. The three movies combined have a world-wide gross of 500 dollars in Monopoly money.

Full Disclosure: I loved The Postman, but even I have to admit that some of my tastes in cinema are shockingly bad.

He’s riding to take what is rightfully his. Arianna Huffington.

Anonymous Office Zombie March 15, 2010 at 7:08 pm

A horse and some buckskin? Meh, whatever. Way to bring it weak-ass, Putin.

How about a flaming sword or an AK-47, or better yet, a flaming AK-47 lashed to a flaming sword… and throw in an eye-patch, and then maybe I’ll be impressed.

AutomaticPilot March 15, 2010 at 7:25 pm

meh, why isn’t he shirtless?

El Pinche March 15, 2010 at 7:34 pm

You know, he’s going commando under those bear skin pants. LIKE A REAL MAN!

Jukesgrrl March 15, 2010 at 7:36 pm

Are you sure that’s not Flagstaff and he’s not running for governor of Arizona? That’s the kind of photo that passes as a kick-ass campaign ad around these parts. Just add the slogan “I’ll cut your taxes!” and he could probably have Jan Brewer off the ballot in a heartbeat.

Mr Blifil March 15, 2010 at 7:44 pm

[re=530815]One Yield Regular[/re]: I appreciate the Dersu Uzala reference, but c’mon, comment number 2? This confirms some of my worst fears about this site. Now where’s my copy of Cahiers du Cinema?

kaykel96 March 15, 2010 at 8:05 pm

Sadly, My boyfriend and I broke up a month ago. yeah.. i’m young ,beautiful,lonely and still hurting.i need someone to love ….My friends told me about A_ge_m_in_gle @ c/o/m and i got curious about it.. they met their boyfriends there.,It is said that it’s the best place to meet a older boyfriend or a younger girlfriend. .So i got a username AnnaBaby there in order to find a new boyfriend. is it wrong?

BlueStateLibtard March 15, 2010 at 8:35 pm

[re=530981]kaykel96[/re]: It’s perfectly fine. I assure you that at that wonderful Web site, you will be able to meet a wonderful gentleman just like the one in the photo above.

plowman March 15, 2010 at 9:30 pm

Hmmm, a rope for a bit (or is that steel cable) and what’s with the tassel under the throat-latch? Think Vlad’s codpiece has as many studs as that bridle? The whole get-up is as strange as that Mesican tack…

AK Insomniac March 15, 2010 at 10:46 pm

I wonder if future historians will note that both Russia and the United States had their most entertaining leaders simultaneously…
