NBC's Pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszewski tried to dress up the "male cheesecake photos" of Vladimir Putin as a serious news story by folding them into a report on the return of Russian nuclear powered attack submarines to the waters off the Atlantic seaboard for the first time in 20 years. "Putin is flexing more than military muscle," he quipped, showing the shirtless prime minister. On ABC, Nick Watt did not even try to treat Putin's chest with dignity. He narrated Putin's Siberian vacation photos with relish: "Putin can ride a horse without a shirt…he can drive a boat…he can even do the butterfly…Putin has been snapped fishing shirtless…hunting shirtless." In a nation where men have an average life expectancy of 59 years, the virility of the 56-year-old prime minister is "impressive."
"He tranquilizes tigers!"
