| The word ‘pindos’ in Russian is highly offensive, and defines a helpless creature that is a product of a very bad educational system, one who can survive in this world only with the help of various gadgets. The origin of the word is unknown, and the philologists are fighting to establish it. The most popular explanation states that this word was invented by Russian peacekeepers in Serbia with the purpose of describing a NATO soldier, who was seen by them as a strange, clumsy figure with his 90 lbs. of bulletproof vest, weapons, radios, flashlights and so on. Russians have taken to calling President Obama "Maximka" after a character from a popular 1952 Soviet movie, which depicted a black boy saved by Russian sailors. Russians have taken to calling President Obama “Maximka” after a character from a popular 1952 Soviet movie, which depicted a black boy saved by Russian sailors. From afar, he looked very strange to the Russian eye—like a penguin. The Russians have had their favorite, most-hated pindoses. One of them, the constant laughingstock in the media, used to be the US Ambassador to Moscow, Michael McFaul. He was a huge fan of Twitter and if judged by the number of his tweets, spent more time on his gadget than actually doing his job. After more than two years of service there, upon his departure, he received only two words in Russian—via Twitter—from the Russian Ministry for Foreign Affairs: “Goodbye Mikhail.” Today his place has been taken by the spokesperson for the US Department of State, Jen Psaki. She has an anti-fan club of haters who consider her not to be very bright—they even invented their own anti-IQ unit called 1 Psaki. One who has 3 Psakis has a brain of a clam. The term ‘psaking’ in Russian political newspeak means to know nothing about the subject while saying something banal and politically correct. She is so popular that when she injured her foot and came in front of the cameras with the cast on, all major Russian TV channels and newspapers reported the event. |

| #4 Psaki is the very face of the NPR-listening pseudointellectual class. Majored in some BS humanities/social science field, has no morals beyond attaching herself to some political insider power and parroting the party line. When asked what Hillary Clinton's specific accomplishments as Secretary of State had been, she mouthed ridiculous vague platitudes about improving the plight of women and children. Pressed further, she as much as admitted she couldn't articulate a single thing. If you go to DC, you see thousands like her. Not-very-bright, poorly informed and poorly educated women with eyes wide and glassy from their proximity to power. Lawyers, political "scientists", Howard Zinn "history" majors, sociologists, and the like, all sucking up to the bureaucracy in order to gain a little power and wealth by osmosis. Anyone want to bet Psaki couldn't fix a tire, skin a buck, make a quilt, cook a meal for eight, or understand calculus or basic statistics, or have an intelligent, mature discussion about centralization vs dispersal of authority? And yet she is the very picture of what the education industry says should be considered as a successful woman. |

| #2 Former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul was considered a lightweight who spent more time on Twitter than on actual diplomacy. And how is Psaki any different than McFowl--other than maybe more incompetent and dimmer. Obama's Cyclop's strategy for a legacy seems to be to surround himself with the blind. |

| #1 Faithful Champ operative who's husband is a DNC financier. Of course we can find her a good job over at State. She can be trusted. Dim bulb personality, possibly. Dim bulb motive for selection, never. |
