Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin embarks on a dive to an underwater archaeological site at Phanagoria on the Taman Peninsula on August 10. Russia's hard man Prime Minister Vladimir Putin pulled on a wetsuit Wednesday and went scuba diving at an ancient Greek Black Sea site in the latest populist stunt ahead of next year's elections.
I agree with colleague Jonathan Woods that we can't have too many pictures of Russian leaders doing silly things to show how macho they are. Today, Vladimir Putin is diving to an underwater archaeological site.
Remind you of someone else?

What difference does it make if he dives on a shipwreck or whatever? What difference does it make if Bush landed on the Lincoln? It's their business. Only the media makes it out to be something else. Screw the media.
I think Vladimir is competing with Chuck Norris. LMAO!
What idiot would vote for anyone else besides Putin? This man is a living legend! Later this week he will be curing cancer, finding the Holy Grail, walking on water, then flying to Mars. About time our world leaders show a little macho panache.
