If you're the president of Ukraine and your fledgling administration is already embroiled in a political crisis, who you gonna call? Bill Clinton.
According to Washington Whispers, U.S. New & World Report, only a year after the Orange Revolution catapulted him to power, Viktor Yushchenko is turning to Bubba's old team of spinmeisters and policy wonks.
Former press secretary Mike McCurry and ex-Chief of Staff John Podesta will head to Ukraine next week to meet with Yushchenko and dispense a little advice. "It's much ado about nothing," insists Jay Carson, Clinton's spokesman.
But to Yushchenko, who amid allegations of corruption has joined forces with his opponent, Viktor Yanukovich, it may be just what the spin doctor ordered.
This news was monitored by the ArtUkraine Monitoring Service for The Action Ukraine Report.

Hmmm....
Viktor Yushchenkos wife could have helped him here.
Why is he choosing the political opponents of his wifes friends and former associates and co-workers?
Especially since she has contacts all over the GOP and in the think tanks and conservative consultants.
The $64 million dollar question.
Maybe his true colors are Clintonian? Or maybe his buddy Chirac recommended them?
Seems your boy has an image problem.
Who are you kidding?
True colors....Ah you mean the "blue dress" stategy?
Who will deal with Yula Timoshenko's image. "Baba Yaga No. 1"
I was thinking about this.
Since his wife had so many contacts with the GOP (half of national review is friends with her), it could be that the GOP consultants she has contacts with are all occupied/and or most of the democrats guys are too.
It could be these 2 knuckleheads were the best political consultants they could get.
They obviously weren't good enough for Hillarys team, they aren't occupied with any campaigns right now.
With 2006 around the corner and presidential elections in 2008 and everybody and their mother running, he might just be getting the best help avalable at this time.
Either that or his best bud's Chirac's boys are all to busy trying to save Nero...er...Chirac as Paris burns.
