I love it when I’m emailed so I don’t have to look! Nathan brings to us an exclusive ground report straight from Bishkek. This person was there from beginning to end and writes an account of the whole thing. Oh, and one more thing. . .

This is the second picture of this girl. She’s just everywhere! UPDATE: Nathan lets me know that this is a REAL babe of politics.

You????????re seeing a lot of this woman because she????????s a former parliamentary deputy and a journalist. Her name is Oksana Malevannaya.

And while her hair does leave something to be desired (eight inches?), she is certainly the most glowing woman I’ve seen so far there.
