A google search of “Yulia Tymoshenko” produces nine results, and without even following the links I learn from three of them that she is Yushchenko’s “glamorous lieutenant”, the “sexiest head of state” and “beautiful, classy and sweet”.
Whatever our views on the Orange Revolution and failure thereof, surely holding Forbe’s former third most powerful woman to a standard of beauty and sexiness over and above her economic and political capabilities is ridiculous.
I hope for the best for the people of Ukraine, and for democracies everywhere to elect premiers for reasons other than their looks.

Thankfully though, looks don’t give electoral success, look at Sarah Palin, rather good looking but couldn’t be more right wing unless and I quote, “had a gun in one hand, a baby in the other and was standing on a mound of dead gays.”.
