Maybe she needs some gin and raisins with those oranges

Hey!! Ukraine has its own Theresa Heinz Kerry. Admit it -- you miss her too!! Frankly, I've been missing my daily Theresa Heinz fix. Not since the Nixon years and Martha Mitchell have we had such an entertaining ditzball spouting dingbat theories every day. Turns out Ukraine's almost-ran First Lady, Lyudmyla Yanukovych, can give Theresa a run for her money. Here's a recent rant of hers to a crowd in her hometown of Donetsk, courtesy of a translation by TulipGirl (http://tulipgirl.com) via Maidan:


Lyudmyla Yanukovych. Star Performance.
We quote [doing our best to convey the original style tr.] from a recent speech given in Donetsk by a lady who was near to becoming the First Lady of Ukraine. Luckily, that's out of the question now.

Dear friends, I'm fresh from Kyiv, I can tell you what's going on there. It's simply an orange orgy there! So, there's rows and rows of felt boots all of it of American make! See! And mountains of orange oranges. And the background is "Orange sea, orange sky [a line from a popular kids song - tr.] Gosh! It's just - It's a nightmare! And look here guys: those oranges ain't just any oranges they're loaded. People take an orange, eat it and take another one. See! And the hand keeps reaching, keeps reaching for it. I was on my way here, there was news. They said people in the square are getting poisoned, on a mass scale. Frequent hospitalizations. They bring people in with meningitis! What have we come to! And they keep standing, keep standing! Eyes simply glazed over! Just like that!

In addition we have her husband, who reportedly upon learning that his transportation minister was resigning, kicked the poor man in the groin. I think in the future he'll phone in his resignations.
