Oh, Yulia... Really


After so much gone through... 
a spectacular return from oblivion, 
like a political phoenix re-emerging from its ashes...


(which is a lot more than several other notables 
have or will ever get, as we well know: 
Indira Gandhi, Alexandra Feodorovna, 
Benazir Bhutto...
You want more names, facts... etc?
Wikipedia and others have them...!
One word of wisdom: go with the others!)


First there was this show of support...
(which might have come a trifle too late)


A disappointing speech puts it all into question...


And, finally, the worst of the worst: 
a putdown by the Kremlin - via Twitter!?! 


''NOVOROSSIYA PR'' on Twitter
(apparently) as Kremlin issues statement 
condemning Yulia Tymoshenko°s 
''distasteful MILF look'' (wording may have been different) 
- adding that it is only ethical for MEN to use BOTOX - lol
(which is open for debate as well...
especially in Russia!
But hey - we never know: maybe Vlad Putin 
did have some work done...? After all, 
if the rumors are true about him being 
a centuries-old vampire...
And his wife did confirm that - kind of!
But that's another story...)


Now do not get us wrong (again!) here:
we like Viktor - a hell of a lot!


Anybody who survived this many attempts on his life 
- and was left scarred by them all 
-especially the most insidious of them-
has got our sympathy... 
and life-long support, 
just like Yulia's. 


But Yulia... Yulia!!!
After all that you went through...


,,,allegedly the firebranding when jailed for corruption, 
a false accusation raised against you 
that had many romantics comparing you 
to Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots...! 



All the anguish, all the turmoil in your country...


The courageous stand - the triumphant return...



Your own daughter involved, actively...



All the panache, pizzazz, flamboyance too...





You start making compromises...
Diplomatie oblige...




... to finally wind up putting up with him?!?





Sheesh... We're just not so sure it's going to pay off, 
this time...!?


UPDATE:

oh yeah, sure, Putin's got charm aplenty...
for all of them... 


- some are not impressed with him, though...!


Why couldn't Yulia have been so...? 



Maybe there's still hope a return to Orange form can be done...?


Maybe...

Because... If not... 



UPDATE to the UPDATE: 

alright then... 
maybe it's time to find another Yulia...
to save the day?!?





Just not this one:

It can definitely be profitable
if not exactly "lucrative" per say...
...to kiss the hand that feeds you
- or your political career!


Yulia Tymoshenko was Viktor Yushchenko's political ally
-then his political rival-
and, now, his most precious political ally again
and only hope of winning in the upcoming elections!
This is not exclusive to Ukrainian politics, of course:
twists and turns like these can and will happen
in politics and in various fields
aaaaaaaaaaall over...

But who is Yulia, you ask?
(''Ioulia'' is the French media spelling...)
(And forget about Viktor now -
his case is too complex for this greedy blog;
it is meant for another blog entirely:
most probably the lambasting one!)

Well, then, here is a little bit
about Yulia...























As reported by French newswires:
"Le mouvement du président pro-occidental
Viktor Iouchtchenko
traîne désormais dans les sondages,
et pourrait ne devoir sa survie aux législatives
qu'à l'appui in extremis
de la formation de son ancienne alliée,
puis rivale, (et de nouveau alliée)



Ioulia Timochenko."

Yulia has done her fair share of puckering up,
as you can have, surely, imagined...




...well, sometimes, it is all slight of hand really...


Most of the time, though - it is the lips 
doing the politico-inclined individual's handwork!









So, from Yulia's lips to a host of other politicians -
starting with Viktor, absolutely...






Whatever domain - or level of diplomacy - it may be!





It is done worldwide and a zillion times over!

AND IT ALL PAYS...!

Yulia can testify of that...
And Viktor too.





So, word to the wise:
shut up
and pucker up!
