Not so fast, there. The #SanctionedByPutin hashtag is taking off after all, and the Wall Street Journal has even declared those who have been sanctioned members of “the hottest club in D.C.” Who in Washington is cool enough to be a member of this exclusive club?
Proud to be included on a list of those willing to stand against Putin’s aggression http://t.co/AL67mauKqq

If standing up for #democracy & sovereignty in #Ukraine means I'm #SanctionedByPutin, I'll take it.

President Putin, it's one thing to pick on me, but I wouldn't mess with Mary. @SenLandrieu #SanctionedByPutin

I guess this means my spring break in Siberia is off, Gazprom stock is lost & secret bank account in Moscow is frozen http://t.co/TgwZneD4HY

While I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to go on vacation with my family in Siberia this summer, I am honored to be on this list

Also sanctioned were National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Adviser Caroline Atkinson, and White House aide Daniel Pfeiffer. If you’re not on that list, you weren’t sanctioned. Sorry.

First I miss the #ForbesBillionaires list, and now it seems I barely fell short of the #SanctionedByPutin list. #WhereHaveIGoneWrong
