Kiev mayor strips down to his speedo in public to prove he is not crazy

[Soylent Brice]

Kiev Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky, who is known for his unusual behavior, made an original response to deputies of the Ukrainian parliament, who literally offered him to have his head examined. Chernovetsky decided that his physical condition was the best evidence to prove his psychic health.

Chernovetsky attended Kiev’s Dynamo Stadium on Wednesday morning to run a 400-meter track, to make 15 pull-ups and swim in a swimming pool. When the mayor went out of the pool, he began to demonstrate his muscles to photographers.

“I want the whole Ukraine to know that I am physically and psychologically healthy,” Leonid Chernovetsky said wearing only his wet speedo in the locker room of the swimming pool. “I ran, did pull-ups and I swam to wash away the dirt from Ukraine – the dirt, which Ukrainian irresponsible politicians pour down on my motherland,” he added

2. They swim in the Neva in winter in speedo-style suits and in the Moskva River. No big deal. nt

5. I wish more of our American politicians were loony!

You know, just plain loony, like this guy - instead of deeply, conspiratorially EVIL.

:freak:

6. Well, he isn't the first big city mayor to make a fool of himself in a bathing suit.

Ahh, Willie Don.
