I think Obama should challenge him to some 1-on-1. Or maybe Horse, if Putin's worried about really mixing it up.

He's following the footsteps of the Dos Equis guy. Second most interesting man in the world.

I'm telling you, this is something that is wrong with Putin.

He's a thrill-seeking psychopath. He's going to get himself killed, and Russia will suffer for it.

1) Sat in seat.
2) Pushed button.
3) Didn't wear flight suit.
4) Didn't fly (I'm fairly sure.)
5) Mission accomplished. Well not really.

You have to appreciate his style!

But, it turns out that the plane was piloted by Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, which means Vladimir Putin retains the title.

If you honestly believe Dmitry is in charge of anything more than what he eats you are a fool. Even than Putin only gives him three choices.

Bravely, Putin touched the control yoke of the aircraft while it remained in the vice-like grip of the real pilot.

That's a stupid waste of resources.

Of course, Putin's Russia isn't about good management so much as it is about taking off your shirt.

see Bush was a trained pilot and he had been at the controls for that flyover after Katrina he could have avoided all the bad press. or at least that shot of him just looking out the window.

But with his once sky-high approval ratings dropping , and sociologists warning that discontent could grow...

Whenever my approval rating drops to discontent, I always build an amusement park to win back my people...

He'd still prefer to operate a time machine that would put him back to 2007 when he personally practically eliminated the national forest service, which resulted in getting 70.000 guys, um, fired. Propaganda farknut.

I am close to a few people that have killed people before and they have that same deep stare that Putin has...that, I've killed MFers before so this is a walk in the park look.

Scary.

Yes, the trike is an unfortunate choice, he really should've been on a VMAX. On the other hand, we had George Bush falling off a Segway, and Obama, well, I'm not sure if he's capable of being even as cool as Bush was, which is very very sad.

I don't know ... Putin looks like a killer, and I mean a person who has personally killed and will kill again, but there is something awesome about it when he does it.

Remember that picture of Obama jumping out of an exploding helicopter, with nun-chucks, riding a skateboard? What happened to that guy?

I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.
