Kerry and David,
You two guys are not the only ones who thinks Vladimir Putin is sexy. Remember when Bush met with him back in 2001 in Ljubliana, Slovenia prior to 9-11? Bush said "I gazed into his eyes and could see his soul." Perhaps Bush didn't really see Putin's soul but he liked what he saw eyes and all. I do believe that Vladimir Putin actually captivated George W. Bush and to this day Bush doesn't have anything bad to say about Putin. Truthfully I think those cold blue eyes captivated George W. Bush. Now if I am right about that and I have a hunch that I am wouldn't that destroy all the negative sayings by the ultra conservatives? lol 
Wow, I didn't know about that, Bucky. Fancy George saying of Vladimir, "I
gazed into his eyes and could see his soul." That certainly is very highly-charged, emotive language for one man to use, when describing another man. I mean, the word
"gazed" alone has all sorts of sizzling, romantic connotations, don't you feel? That quote really does blow me away! Thanks for your post!
I rather like this cute picture taken when Vladimir visited the White House on 16 Sept 2005. I think George might be
gazing into those beautiful azure-blue eyes again!
And I simply adore this happy-snap of Vladimir and George, larking about together, as only good mates can!
