First, GMD wrote two pieces in The American Thinker this week :
“Vulgar Amateurs at the State Department” deals with the oh, so lovely, Victoria Nuland (sister-in-law of Kimberly Kagan from the Institute for the Study of War, which foisted Elizabeth O’Bagy on the American public). GMD offers some links worth checking out. He sheds light on all of Victoria’s secrets… Oh, wait she doesn’t know about loose lips or Putin’s ships, but she went to Kiev to coach protestors…..
“Uk-Raine Terrain” goes beyond the signature braid and lets down this Rapunzel’s hair. Thanks to JK for providing this link to Anna Raccoon’s excellent blog post. Anna dishes on Julia Tymoshenko’s big makeover:
The billions she had amassed came in handy though. She hired Oleh Pokalchuk, a social psychologist, to give her a make over from hard nosed brunette business woman to – pagan mother goddess of the Ukrainian peasants. Somewhere between ‘Eva Perón’ and the ‘Princess Leia’ character from the Star Wars and Evita DVDs that she had imported into a chain of Ukrainian cinemas. Said Oleh in 2007:
“It was necessary to work out and implement an image that would block out the image […] of wealth, of envy, hatred. I created an image of a modest village teacher. A visual type, clothes and haircut, a retro image evoking memories of childhood and schooldays… simple clothes, simple haircut, a Ukrainian archetype, […] She didn’t speak Ukrainian so well then and it was necessary for parts of the country, where nationalism is a powerful force, that she should appear one of us.”
Okay, GMD wrote another piece, “Bimbo Politics”, but alas here at libertybellediairies, I beg to quibble, because “bimbo” evokes the image of an attractive dimwit, like one of those harmless, bubbly pieces older men like clinging to their arm. These women seek power and learned it’s easier to attach themselves to men with more political savvy, because it’s easier to use men than to compete fairly with them. Yes, yes, my catty streak is fighting against my demure, good-mannered self and winning……… pssst, these women are a bunch of harping witches. Phew, that felt better blurting that out 🙂
