Bitter pill to swallow: Gadhafi's 'voluptuous' nurse gone? → worldblog.msnbc.msn.com

Well, now he’s done it. Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi lost the support of key ambassadors. He lost the support of some of his nation’s armed forces. But now, the woman described as a “voluptuous blonde who travels everywhere” with Gadhafi is leaving?

This is too much.

According to reports, Galyna Kolotnytska, described in a cable published by WikiLeaks as a “voluptuous blonde” who “travel[s] everywhere” with Gadhafi, says she is heading home to Ukraine.
