Sticky times for George Soros

KIEV - The US billionaire and philanthropist George Soros was splashed with water and glue in Ukraine's capital Kiev on Wednesday by two young Ukrainians who burst into a hall where he was addressing a human rights conference.
"Soros, Out of Ukraine! You'll get nothing here!" the Ukrainians shouted as they carried out their protest, the Interfax news agency reported. They were immediately detained and led away by security personnel.

Soros said he doubted it was just an ordinary incident. "Somebody is behind this," he was quoted as saying by Interfax.

The Hungarian-born financier had accused the Ukrainian presidential administration of trying to prevent the holding of a forum in Crimea, southern Uraine, which finally started Tuesday.

Soros, who arrived on Monday in the former Soviet republic for a five-day visit, was due on Wednesday to meet Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich and later in the week President Leonid Kuchma.

The Soros Foundation is heavily involved in promoting civil society and the development of democratic ideas, chiefly in former Soviet bloc countries. But it is sometimes accused of interfering in countries' internal affairs.

Soros' activities in Russia have been effectively frozen since the seizure of the foundation's Moscow premises in early November in a complicated property dispute that some have linked to political motives.

Former Georgian president Eduard Shevardnadze, who was forced to resign after a wave of street protests by the opposition in November, accused Soros of orchestrating the campaign that led to his downfall.

The new US-educated Georgian president, 36-year-old Mikhail Sakaashvili, has held contacts with the popular pro-Western Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, tipped in opinion polls to win October presidential elections.

Opponents of Ukraine's Kuchma - who has ruled with strong-arm tactics since 1994 - accuse him of trying to use constitutional reforms to keep a hold on power after his second term ends in October.

Two Ukranians Expelled for Soros Protest
Fri Apr 2, 4:02 PM ET

KIEV, Ukraine - Two students were expelled from a Kiev university after they threw mayonnaise at billionaire philanthropist George Soros while he was visiting Ukraine, a colleague said.

Kiev Polytechnic University students Dmytro Khmara and Atilla Selei-Dovzhenko of the nationalist group Bratstvo were expelled on Thursday, another group member, Oles Yanchuk, told the Associated Press.

The pair had claimed responsibility for throwing what Bratstvo said was mayonnaise at Soros at a start of a human right conference Wednesday.

Yanchuk called their expulsion an "act of political pressure," saying that a foundation headed by Soros is funding some the university's education projects. He said other students might stage protests demanding their reinstatement.

The Hungarian-born Soros is the founder of the Open Society Institute, which promotes civil society building in the countries of the former Soviet Union and elsewhere.

Critics say the institute played a role in last year's ouster of Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze, who resigned amid mass public protests.

Bratstvo, whose name means 'brotherhood,' claimed Soros' visit was actually aimed at conducting talks with the Ukrainian opposition to fund a similar scenario in Ukraine. Soros dismissed such allegations as "far from reality."

That wasn't mayonnaise NOR glue - it was a reference to Soros' relationship with Clinton!

Ask Monica what it really was!

Yep, I know it is old news, over a week old. My Birthday was around that time, so I did not get to savory this little plastering of Soros. Besides as I said, I needed a pick me up.

Good question.

But then again, maybe the students were trying to demonstrate, crudely, a certain male bodily substance Soros lacks?
