Palin shoots moose.
Cheney shoots his friends in the face.
Putin shoots a friggin' tiger and saves a t.v. crew from being mauled FTW.

That's one fast acting tranquilizer dart. Seriously it'd have to instantly drop a 600lb. charging predator flush with adrenaline. I'm extremely skeptical about this one.

conveniently, everything but the shooting was caught on film. oh, but don't worry, the camera lady says putin was responsible for saving them all. um, well, let me rephrase that; the british news guy says that's what she's saying. i don't speak russian.

alright, so we're all clear on this, right? putin is a hero.

What!? Skeptics!
I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straight forward and trustworthy. I was able to get a sense of his soul.

With a tranq? Sweet. That's some good publicity. Way better than shooting an old man in the face, the American way. Soviets have this down pat.

Kim Jong Ill played 18 holes of golf with only 17 shots.

Bush Jr. once slept for 4 days straight, stirring only to evacuate his bowels in a litter box lined with liberal legislation.

This is probably the most hilarious unscripted news (i.e. not TDS or some such) segment I ever saw.
who knew propaganda was this fun!?

Are you in danger of being attacked by wild animals?
Have too much oil on your hands?
Post-Soviet state?

SUPER-MIRACLE-PUTIN TO THE RESCUE!!!

the reports here in norway is that this story is "a good tale, but the reality of it is unlikely".
