Putin praises sexual prowess of Israeli president

Vladimir Putin's international image was tainted today after it emerged

he had let slip another of his infamous remarks - this time praising the

president of Israel for alleged sex offences.

"He turned out to be a strong man, raped 10 women," the Russian president

was quoted by Russian media as saying at a meeting in Moscow with Israeli

prime minister Ehud Olmert. "I never would have expected it of him. He has

surprised us all, we all envy him!"

Israeli police announced on Sunday that the president, Moshe Katsav, could

be charged with the rape and sexual harassment of several women.

Mr Putin, a former KGB spy, is well known for his crude off-the-cuff quips.

On Wednesday he and Mr Olmert met reporters before talks on Iran and

bilateral relations. "Say hi to your president - he really surprised us," Mr Putin

was heard saying to Mr Olmert as the Kremlin press conference ended.

That was the only comment that reached most journalists' ears, but Andrei

Kolesnikov, a Kremlin pool veteran, heard the rest. "It was one of those

moments when you couldn't believe your ears," he said. Another reporter

said officials had burst into laughter.

One of Mr Olmert's delegation said Mr Putin said "dealing with" 10 women,

not raping them. The Kremlin press service confirmed the remarks.

A spokesman told the BBC the comments were meant as a joke and in

"in no way meant that President Putin welcomes rape".

"Russian is a very complicated language, sometimes it is very sensitive from

the point of view of phrasing," he said.

My favorite piece of trivia about GWB is that he refers to Putin as Pootey-Poot
