Georgia Sides with Yushchenko
Filed under: Ukraine
Nino Burjanadze (pictured, left, another fabulous babe of politics), speaker of Georgia's parliament, has expressed support for embattled Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko's call to solve the parliamentary impasse in his country with snap elections. "The president had the constitutional right to dissolve Parliament. I am sure that democratic forces will win in the elections and [hopefully] these forces will adopt correct internal and external policies," Burjanadze said.

Yuschenko has risked his very life for his country, as any picture of his face after his Dioxin poisoning by pro-Russian forces will attest. Will Yanukovich go so far as to risk an election?
