"Tymoshenko, a sharp-tongued former natural-gas tycoon known for wearing her braided hair like a crown."
A haircut is in order at least.
"Tymoshenko’s appeal puts Ukrainian election results on hold; Court will review claims of fraud in Yanukovych win" by Yuras Karmanau, Associated Press | February 18, 2010
KIEV - Ukraine’s presidential election results giving the victory to Russia-friendly Viktor Yanukovych were suspended yesterday pending review of his rival’s appeal.
Ukraine’s Administrative Court said it would rule on Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko’s appeal by Feb. 25, when lawmakers had planned to inaugurate Yanukovych.
Tymoshenko has refused to concede, asserting that the election was tainted by fraud. Instead of stepping down as Yanukovych prodded her, she ordered her cabinet to work out a plan for economic reform for the next five years....
But it is NOT ABOUT YOU, Ukranian voter. It is ALL ABOUT HER!!!!!
Viktor Nebozhenko, the head of the respected Ukrainian Barometer polling agency, predicted that the court will rule against Tymoshenko’s appeal because many judges on the court support Yanukovych.
“Tymoshenko knows quite well that she has little chance of winning, but she will use the proceedings to make strong accusations,’’ he said. “Tymoshenko’s key goal is now to stay in the prime minister’s seat. She has nothing to lose and is ready to offer promises and jobs.’’
Yeah, SCREW YOU, Ukranian voters!
This has been the PLAN from the START -- save her own SELF-SERVING ass!!!
Another Kiev-based political analyst, Vadim Karasyov, said that Tymoshenko’s defiance will likely force Yanukovych to call early elections to attempt to win control over parliament, which appoints the prime minister....
Tymoshenko also attacked her rival on another front, launching consultations in parliament to derail Yanukovych’s inauguration set for next week. Her campaign chief, Alexander Turchinov, said yesterday that Tymoshenko’s faction in parliament will introduce a motion to postpone the ceremony....
What a SORE LOSER and a real bee-aaaach!
International observers have deemed Ukraine’s latest election free and fair, and President Obama and other leaders have already congratulated Yanukovych....
She doesn't care.
It was unclear how strong Tymoshenko’s case in the appeal may be or whether the court would be likely to give it credence. Some Ukrainian court decisions are seen as influenced by politics more than by evidence.
That is an AmeriKan paper saying that!
After the ENDLESS RETRIALS until they get convictions in the FRAME-UP of "terror" patsies in AmeriKa?
After the 9/11 and Iraq lies?
Yeah, I SMELL the SAME STENCH of HYPOCRISY, readers. *ewsmedia of AmeriKa good at it.
Anna German, the vice chairwoman of Yanukovych’s Party of Regions, dismissed the court deliberations as a “mere formality.’’
“These proceedings can’t overturn the obvious: The majority of Ukrainians have voted for Yanukovych,’’ she said. “The entire world has recognized Yanukovych’s victory.’’
The Queen don't care!
