Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, a champion judoka, could soon be flooring France's Nicolas Sarkozy with some of his famous throws after agreeing to pass on some of his black belt skills to the French president.

"He (Sarkozy) is interested in martial arts and we have decided to do some training together," Putin was quoted as saying in an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro published on Saturday.

There goes Putin, getting inside Sarkozy's head again.

What a mixed bag that guy is. He's put Russia's internal and foreign policy affairs in much better order, but he's too heavy handed, a real brute sometimes, nasty (but always controlled) temper, and what an ego!

It would be nice to see someone get inside his head at some point. He doesn't want Obama, 'cause he knows Obama's the only one who can do it. Putin just won't be able to get his number.

Putin is a real man. Why can't Americans have somebody like him to vote for?

I live ten miles from a town that has a very large population of Americans of Dutch extraction. They have a saying, "You can always tell a Dutchman, but you can't tell him much."

President Palin will, of course, just shoot him from a helicopter.

Booosh would have been begging for mercy the minute Putin laid his hands on him.

So can President Obama give them both some basketball lessons? Or will President McCain sit back and watch the little boys play while he doses off?
