Putin saves camera crew by shooting tiger

Begs the question:

Who would Putin be more worried about sitting across the table from?

Obama-a standard typical Washington D.C. politician?

Palin- an unorthodox politician who hunts Caribou then guts and dresses it

saving a camera crew from its jaws

Total (laughable) pap.

A tranquilizer has a delay before it takes effect. Tigers are powerful animals, which can move at around 30mph. If the camera crew was actually in sight and the tiger bolted for them, game over. The only way to stop a tiger in such a scenario would be with lethal force and, even then, it would be lucky – moving, agile target, in thick undergrowth. Please.

Looks like Puty has reverted to the good ol’ comical (seriously, I laughed) propaganda. At least, he acknowledged that the US and our allies have funded the tiger recovery.

Tiger! Tiger burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Kept you from consuming Putin as we wish you had?

Meanwhile, Bush hits one golf ball after talking about fighting terrorists – something he does well – and all of a sudden he’s a careless oaf. Wow.

Some of that “Instant” tranquilizer no doubt. Normal tranq would only take effect after the tiger ripped the “Camera Crew” to shreds. Next well hear how Putin held a Lion down by the throat with his teeth and screwed it to death thereby saving an entire class of school children who happened to wander into it’s enclosure.

Mental Note: Never run around the jungle dressed up as a tiger when there are “Ex” KGB agents around.

Isn’t this like Captian Kirk leading all the away missions?

He helped measure and tag it?

Onion news is going to be put out of buisness by real fake news.

Honestly! Between this and the Obama Greek temple. What’s left to make fun of? All of geopolitics is becoming Saturday Night Live. I guess they need the ratings…

Poot poot needs to go hunting with Cheney.

Yeah, can we set that up? I’m sure Cheney’s got a favorite “undisclosed location”.

You know who’s going to watch this and end up getting almost physically excited? Awww yeah.

Maybe Buchanan and Sullivan can share a private screening room.

Since when does the telegraph run Russian propaganda? This is like those old Stalin videos, call me a paranoid jew but this kind of weirdness creeps me out.

‘A show of toughness for western audiences?’ Complete with the hero is for ‘tiger preservation’ after tranquing one bravely and the effusive female..
