White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice has apparently just begun a new political party called “the Progessive Party” based on her advocacy of “progess” in her failed attempt to publicize an account to push pro-Ukrainian information:
https://twitter.com/AmbassadorRice/status/446103379752677376
Except oops! That account doesn’t exist. She probably meant “@UKRprogress.”
Rice’s typo inspired a parody account under the misspelled handle:
Thanks, @AmbassadorRice! We are currently watching Youtube video to learn Russian. Will be back once we are done.

Good news: We finally figured out the right way to say "Reset" in Russian. Bad News: It will be a few days before we can get it to Putin.

.@PutinRF_Eng Not cool, Bro. Not cool.

.@AmbassadorRice @StateDept Good news. Our best people have determined that Reset in Russian is "perezagruzka". New button is on its way.

.@AnthonyBialy @AmbassadorRice @UkrProgress Are you saying we need a spelling reset? Nyet!
— @ukrprogess (@ukrprogess) March 19, 2014
.@PutinRF_Eng If you continue on this path, we will have no choice but to send you a sternly-worded letter. Вы нас понимаете?

We would like to point out that even President Obama didn't get 95% of the vote. That referendum was clearly подстроенный.

@AmbassadorRice Answer your phone, Susan! Google translate isn't working. We don't know what to do now. We're f*cked.

@AmbassadorRice Good news. We found a janitor from one of those stan countries. I assume they speak Russian there. Close enough, anyways.

.@AmbassadorRice Will you stop searching YouTube for videos to blame and find us someone that speaks Russian? This is a disaster, Susan.

.@JohnKerry Hey asshole, thanks for leaving Susan in charge. She won't get off YouTube. Where the hell are you?
— @ukrprogess (@ukrprogess) March 19, 2014
Good news. We got through to Putin's secretary. She told us there are no Russian troops in Ukraine and put us on hold. Making progress!
— @ukrprogess (@ukrprogess) March 19, 2014
Never mind. Thought we were dialing Putin, but it turned out to be a mail-order bride service. Will try again tomorrow.

More than 60 people retweeted Rice’s tweet, including Michael Anthony McFaul, the former U.S. Ambassador to Russia:
McFaul stepped down less than two months ago. According to the Associated Press, he is “considered the architect of President Barack Obama’s effort to reset relations with Russia.” But don’t blame him for the Ukraine-Russia debacle. It’s all Bush’s fault — or YouTube’s.
