Angry Wreath Attacks President of Ukraine

by Ken Layne  


Ukraine’s new president, Viktor Yanukovych, had a terrible fight with an opposition wreath. At least he didn’t get poisoned and terribly disfigured (by the Russians SMERSH) like that last guy, who used to be so handsome before he was nearly killed by Russia SMERSH.

Here’s some more exciting video of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Yanukovych getting rained on, and having wreaths blow over on them, and ladies sweeping wet carpets, and weird off-camera Slavic Laughter, and whatever. Ukraine!

Here is a story about this situation, from the Wall Street Journal. [Wall Street Journal/Video via Wonkette operative "Peter M."]

And yet Medvedev is NOT attacked by a wreath HMMMMMM?
This is as bad/worse than poison.

That was for his homies…

Sheesh, at least NOBAMA only bows to Asians and Saudis, not objects.

Ken, everybody knows it was KAOS. not SMERSH, behind that attempted hit.

Which one’s in charge of the Upsidasium?

In other news, Debbie Schlussel has unmasked Miss Pole Dancer USA as a Hezbollah suicide bomber.

Donald Trump unfair! Debbie should have won!

Sweeper ladies get short cotton shifts; grandpa sweeper gets state of the art foul weather gear. This is my kind of caveman society, I tell ya’.

Thank heavens that one guy had an umbrella to charge the wreath with.

There are three rules my pappy taught me — never play cards with a man named Doc, never start a land war in Asia, and never show a blue spruce wreath the top of your head.

Post-Soviet botanic-aerospace memorial spray techniques did not account for ground-level wind shear. A Sub-Minister of Forestry is preparing his resignation and will be sent to a reeducation camp.

The Banking Pamphlet wouldn’t let me in until I used Jim Newell’s trick for reading Dame Peggington, wordsmith of wonders. http://wonkette.com/414184/peggy-noonan-hath-been-captured-by-electronicks

That was awesome. Please change the sound to the “attack of the killer tomatoes” theme song though.

WREATH VIKTOR ALOONE!1!

He’s lucky he escaped with his life, what with the killer wreath and all the umbrella men.

The Ukrainian military band needs wah-wah mutes for their brass.

AhojChris May 18, 2010 at 3:04 pm

That was actually Yulia Tymoshenko disguised as a wreath.

WadISay May 18, 2010 at 3:06 pm

That first video comes with an ad to “Meet pretty girls from Ukraine.” Nice ad buy, somebody, to snag the crowd that searches Ukraine+laying.

Only if the wreath attack will be as perfectly timed with the music as the original.
Another great thing is the still that appears to show him kicking the wreath.

In Soviet Ukraine, wreath lays *you*!

vkladchik May 18, 2010 at 3:17 pm

Poor ladies! They took the handles of their brooms!

Between this and the egg-fight in Parliament, it looks like Ukrainian politics have become the Benny Hill show.

Imagine Yakety-Sax playing in the background . . .

President Beeblebrox May 18, 2010 at 3:23 pm

HA HA, it was the Ukrainian wreath that attacked him – the Russian wreath just stood to the side, snickering. SEE, IT PROVES THAT YANUKOVICH IS JUST A LAPDOG OF RUSSIA AND NOW REEL UKRAINA IS SPEEKING OUT!!!1

[re=579671]Lazy Media[/re]: She can send those dark, cascading waves over my Palestinian border any time.

Despite her dark, cascading waves and toned body, the new Miss USA has come under fire by right-wing bloggers, who have dubbed her a “terrorist in a bikini.”

“Don?t let her lack of a headscarf and her donning a bikini in public fool you. Miss Michigan USA, Rimah (sic) Fakih is a Muslim activist and propagandist extraordinaire,” wrote conservative political commentator Debbie Schlussel in her blog.

Nothing like a little goose-stepping.

The same person that watches the mooseberries. Who else?

RationalMan May 18, 2010 at 5:01 pm

Is everybody blind? Yanukovych clearly accosted the wreath; the wreath was acting in self-defense.

megs May 18, 2010 at 5:16 pm

looks like they had a fun day :)

denver_80203 May 18, 2010 at 6:21 pm

Serves him right for bowing to a commie wreath!

yellowdogdem May 18, 2010 at 6:42 pm

OMG, they should elect that wreath as the next prez of Ukraine.
