Come on. This would not even be close. Putin is a legitimate badass, and a scary man. The far tougher question: is there any other head of state who could plausibly give him a scare in a fair fight? Maybe someone who rose to power fresh out of the miltary, and still young enough to handle himself. I can't think of anyone offhand, even if you go back a ways in recent history.

I'm sure there are world leaders who could take Putin, it's just that we don't know what most world leaders look like.

I'm not so sure. Nowadays all the world leaders are either young but nerdy (Rafael Correa, Daily Show correspondent John Oliver), or tough but old. Or, of course, both old and nerdy, in the traditional manner. GW Bush is probably in the top 5% for physical fitness, but he doesn't know any fighting techniques, unlike his father.

King Mswati of Swaziland might be a good choice. He looks pretty tough and is only 39. But his decadent lifestyle has probably made him a softy, and judging from photos he doesn't spend his free time working out.

My pick would be Paul Kagame, a longtime military tough guy who is younger than Putin (but still 50). He's awfully tall and skinny, though, which is not good against a judoka.

Rep. Barney Frank was on his cell when President Bush passed by and joked, "Tell him I said hello." Later, the openly gay congressman told him it was his boyfriend on the line, reports Matthew Huisman of the Boston University-Washington News Service. "Oh, okay, I hope he appreciates how open-minded I am," Bush said.

Because Segolene Royal is too sexy for France, and also comes from a terrorist family.

Trivia: Segolene was born in Dakar.

Weird trivia: Royal sued her father because he refused to divorce her mother and pay alimony and child support to finance the children's education. She won the case after many years in court, shortly before Jacques Royal died of lung cancer in 1981. Six of the eight children had refused to see him again, Ségolène included.[3]

"The second type of authority is Rational-legal authority. It is that form of authority which depends for its legitimacy on formal rules and established laws of the state, which are usually written down, and are often very complex. The power of the rational legal authority is mentioned in the constitution. Modern societies depend on legal-rational authority. Government officials are the best example of this form of authority which is prevalent all over the world.

The third form of authority is Charismatic authority. Here, the charisma of the individual or the leader plays an important role." ...from the Wiki link at 115

I haven't yet figured out why process liberals who have such a great investment in "rational-legal authority" would be attracted to a charismatic figure. Working on it, read Hannah Arendt last night on the differences between movements and parties.

I met someone last summer who had worked for Teodoro Obiang. He had some fucked up stories to tell. It doesn't sound like he would win in any hand-to-hand combat (schizophrenic meth heads can be unreliable in that way), but dude has minions.

Interesting! I was hoping that Eve would become the Grace Kelly to Equatorial Guinea's Monaco soon, but it looks like their relationship is over.

Oudemia-

I tried, but my VCR gets crappy reception on PBS; would it be possible for you to send along the Parthenon show from NOVA?

I have no vaguely-discreet way to express my email, but will do so if nec.

Resolved: Obama and Putin are either naturally hairless or wax their chests.
