Daily Mail Puzzled By Vladimir Putin’s Pantsman Tendencies

Defamer Australia and Russian President Vladimir Putin go way back, so we were delighted to see that he’s in the news again – evidently this time for schtupping some hot, young rhythmic gymnast. Apparently Putin has split from his wife and excitedly plans to shack up with the pretty 24-year-old post haste.

It seems the Daily Mail were excited, too:

We love it. We love the expanded version from the story itself even more:

So, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, what do you see in a 24-year-old, sensationally beautiful gymnast with a penchant for posing semi-naked that you don’t see in your lovely, middle-aged, matronly wife Ludmilla?

We’re not sure what they mean by emphasising her gymnastic tendencies, unless it’s that rather sad blokey thing of discussing new babes’ yoga/ballet/gymnastic skills as though they will likely lead to bedroom prowess.

The reality is, yoga/ballet/gymnastic skills are probably less likely to equal “cracker in the sack” than they are “slightly highly strung, a bit too skinny to cuddle and probably obsessed with stinky weight-loss herbal teas”.
