Vodka saves democracy

Somehow I don't think this will make it into the State of the Union address. Apparently MI6 (you know, James Bond, shaken not stirred) and the CIA thwarted any chance of a counterrevolution in the Ukraine:

"When the miners got on their buses and trains, they found to their joy case after case of vodka – just for them. When they arrived in Kiev, trucks awaited them filled with more cases of vodka – all free provided by 'friends' of the Donetsk coal miners. Completely soused, they never made it to Independence Square. Too hammered blind to cause any violence at all, they had a merry time, passed out and were shipped back to Donetsk."

Somehow I don't suspect they used that French stuff but I wouldn't be surprised if they used my personal favorite. After all, these are ethnic Russians.
