She looks like a scared rabbit.



Relative to most American female policritters she is above average.  And I don't mean just old American female policritters.  Most of ours started off coyote ugly.  A middling example was Bella Abzug.  Google if you dare.  Even her political portrait soft focus shots could curdle milk.

She cleans up very well.

http://images.rcp.realclearpolitics.com/153064_5_.jpg

And she's much more attractive in video talking etc. than she photographs. What might be coming out of her mouth is generally  :P of course.

The whole "I iz seryous professhinal femynst fed.gov wymn" no makeup shtick is part of it too, when one compares her to various models and starlets caught in tabloids without makeup in sweatpants going to Starbucks or whatever. 
I promise not to duck.

A "Gillian Anderson as Agent Scully" knockoff.

It's this part that actually bothers me most:

Quote
Throughout the 2008 presidential campaign of U.S. Senator Barack Obama, Psaki served as traveling press secretary.[3] After Obama won the election, Psaki followed Obama to the White House as Deputy Press Secretary and was promoted to Deputy Communications Director on December 19, 2009.[4][5] Psaki left that position on September 22, 2011 to become senior vice president and managing director at the Washington, D. C. office of public relations firm Global Strategy Group.[6][7]

In 2012, Psaki returned to political communications as press secretary for President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.[8] On February 11, 2013, Psaki became spokesperson for the United States Department of State.[8] Her hiring at the Department of State has fueled speculation that she is likely to replace White House Press Secretary Jay Carney when he leaves the White House.[9]

A willing part of the 0. administration.

At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

Serious crackdown, around 10 folks dead 100 injured, numbers likely to go up. Heavy fighting between cops and protesters. http://www.kyivpost.com/content/kyiv/renewed-violence-breaks-out-today-near-ukraines-parliament-at-least-one-injured-336993.html

Graphic video of some folks getting their heads caved in once they're on the ground. Don't get isolated from your buddies or bad things happen. No way to know for sure but I'd say two of those cops are not alive anymore. Note the balaclava dude dragging the cop's body off, and at least one non-gov guy with what looked like a double bitted axe. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fec_1392732158

Tanks are rolling in on their own power now, not on rail cars. APC's used in the big Berkut offensive, BTR-70's maybe? Not up on my armor id anymore.

Edit: pic may be faked, reports on tanks in use are not verified. But the BTR's are definitely in use and on the livestreams.

At least one guy with a real gun and live ammo, cops in retreat, and several more isolated pulled down beaten insensate and stripped of their gear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2q4TaZyKv3Y

Very well done propaganda. Cute chick, all the right phrases (freedom, oversimplification of the issues), carefully selected shots of poor innocent bystanders being beaten (no shots of bystanders beating police to death), etc. Only thing missing is dead kids or barring that, a carefully positioned stuffed animal left in the middle of some carnage.

Not saying I disagree with the protestors, just admiring decent skill.

Ayup. Everyone does propaganda, good guys and bad. Much respect for those who do it well.

The REALLY interesting part will be whose propaganda requires jumping through hoops on Youtube/Google to view the content.  Then you know what side the powers that be want you to be most exposed to.

The sun rises, the fires are still burning, and apparently, some of the rioters have knocked over a small military compound.
Some of them may have acquired automatic weapons and RPGs, but none have appeared yet on the videos/photos.

Some wounded cops (not Berkut) were turned over for treatment. Surprised they're still alive. On the other hand, in at least one city the local cops have officially joined the protesters.
