A son in Putin's Yule stocking

Vladimir Putin has a lot to celebrate this Christmas. Not only has the Russian strongman consolidated his control over the proletariat -- and all their oil and gas -- he's also been given his first son, sources say.

Alina Kabaeva, the gorgeous, 26-year-old rhythmic gymnastics champion, recently gave birth to a boy in Moscow and named the baby Dimitry, a moniker he'll share with Putin's handpicked president, Dimitry Medvedev.

Please. First Tiger now this putz!

Is there no real news to be talked about.

The 5-foot-4 Kabaeva -- who is half-Muslim through her Tatar father -- was born in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan

Uh oh, the "all Muslims are evil and ugly" caucus isn't going to like it.

But don’t worry those who marry a women and are faithful are the ones who are bad to women. lol.

[cicero2k]

You had me at “rhythmic gymnastics” then the picture. Oh my!

[Soothesayer]

Half-muslim? Don’t they mean half-arabic?

Are these people stupid or is the soviet propaganda machine on full blast?

When there was the media gossip that Alina Kabaeva was a Putin's girlfriend and he was going to get divorced with Lydmila and marry to Alina a lot of people anticipated with pleasure the explanations from all of them. Two ladies kept silence. Putin's "response" was too strict. A lot of people interpreted it as confirmation of the adultery. Kabaeva is very pretty. Last years Mrs Putin is very reserved. Putin has two young daughters and doesn't want to lose his impeccable image. In my opinion the real birth of his son by Alina can't decrease Putin's rate in the Russia. Most likely it may increase. Sorry for my English.

All hail the Tsarevich!

Not Guilt-ski!

Let’s not rush to judgment. First things first - which half of her is Muslim?

[john drake]

How are you half-muslim? Is it a race or what? I thought it was a belief system (faulty at that); so she only believes half? Hmmmm, maybe she won’t try to saw Vlad’s head off when the muslim minority attempts another terrorist strike in Moscow?

[OldDeckHand]

Awe, the new Tsar has his new Alexandra, or perhaps she looks a little more like a Anastasia. Isn’t that sweet.

Nyet guilty

Putin is evil, but I understand. She's hot and flexible if you know what i mean.

I doubt this will be an issue in the Caucuses. It will probably help Putin's goal of Russianizing the Tatars of the Volga and Kuban.

[rmlew]

She is half-Tatar, not half-Arab. Tatars are Turks, not Arabs.
Most Arabs are Muslim, but most Muslims are not Arab.

[Tailback]

Half-muslim? Don’t they mean half-arabic?

Tatars aren't Arabs. More related to Mongols/Turkic type folks.

[eldoradude]

Let’s not rush to judgment. First things first - which half of her is Muslim?

Hmmm, hard to tell.

I’ll bet there will be no “I’d hit it” posts to that picture

Death might follow.

By the way, wy do American’s have Bimbos, French have mistresses and Russians have concubines?

[Clemenza]

Correct. The most famous Tartar American was, unfortunately, not very pretty:

[John-Irish]

Not all Muslims are Arabic. Actually there’s more Muslims in Asia than the Middle East.
