Rootin' tootin' Putin

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Here -- from the Globe -- is Vladimir Putin fishing in the Khemchik River in Siberia's Tuva region. Considering how very much I disliked Casino Royale, as well as Daniel Craig's flat turn in the lead role, I wonder if Putin should be the next Bond. Either that, or he could play an older Jason Bourne if there's a fourth movie. He has the KGB experience, after all, and it looks like he could do even the toughest stunts himself.
