The leader of the all-Ukrainian association Batkivshchyna (Motherland), which unites more than 150 thousand most active Ukrainian citizens.
"Tymoshenko is steadily ranked among top five most prominent Ukrainian politicians..."
Yuliya Tymoshenko was born in 1960 in the city of Dnipropetrovsk (Ukraine). She received university education as an economist-cyberneticist and earned a candidate of economic science degree. She authored more than 50 research works.
Tymoshenko started her career as an economist at Dnipropetrovsk mechanical engineering plant; later on she headed one of Ukraines major industrial corporations, then was elected a memberl of parliament and the head of the Verkhovna Rada Budget Committee. She served as a vice prime minister for fuel and energy sector in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
(snip)When in Cabinet, Tymoshenko took the unprecedented steps to de-criminalize the backbone of Ukraines economy, its fuel and energy sector. In 2000, the Government paid to the population the additional UAH 18 billion, out of which UAH 9 billion was raised through withdrawing costs from the shadow economy, prohibition of barter and introduction of the principles of competition into the energy market. Being deprived of their shadow incomes by Tymoshenkos reforms, the financial and industrial lobbyists from the presidential circles got the President to sign the decree on her dismissal in January 2000.
In February 2001, Tymoshenko headed the united democratic opposition, which demanded the dismissal of President Leonid Kuchma suspected of a number of crimes, such as involvement in the murder of journalist Georgy Gongadze, falsification of the presidential and parliamentary election results, power abuse, corruption, etc.
On February 13, Yuliya Tymoshenko was arrested on charges brought by the Prosecutor Generals office against her. General public regarded this fact as a savage punishment of the democratic movement.

Yes. It goes along with the constant "sour look"...when they're mouths are closed.
Kristina Vanden Heuval (sp). The most miserable, nasty, bitter, immoral woman on the planet. She is Damian Thorne's mother.
They're all going to look like Helen Thomas some day.

And, I'll say again: Republican women have a natural beauty.
I'm with you - I think she looks wonderful.
I've got a real weakness for brunettes.
I like the quote from the JerseyGOP.com article:
"At the present stage the most fearful thing is that some people do not see any difference between good and evil. Everything has mixed up, they cannot understand which is good and which is bad. This is the result that their consciousness is programmed this way and their perceiving of reality is destroyed..."
- Yuliya Tymoshenko
... could be a statement about the effect of the MSM here.

Women, fantastic, bemuddling and alltogether indispensable creatures that they are, never can be, should be or will be defined as beautiful by virtue of their political affiliations.
I move to enter into evidence any meeting of the Concerned Women for America.
The Democratic babe of the week:
"I've got a real weakness for brunettes".
and as the old saying goes: "she has a perfect pair of legs, feet on one end and a c**t on the other"
Kidding of course.
She's HOT!! lol!!!!
I caught that too...
You suck...
Well, since I'm now 48 I hate seeing "babes" that are all teenagers or 20-somethings. It's nice knowing that Miss Tymoshenko and Ann Coulter are in their 40s. When I look at them with sweet longing I don't feel as much guilt -- meaning cradle-robbing guilt.
We need to start a "Freeper Chick" calender to raise money for some worthey causes (soldier's rehab (and beer $$), Iraqi orphans, etc).
...twins separated at birth?
have it in for her?
R U Kidding Me? lol
