Totally Spaced Out: Kosmos Grabs Mike…Instead of Fountain Pen

Kyiv Mayor Leonid “Kosmos” Chernovetsky didn’t get his nickname for nothing.

During the signing of the Euro 2012 cooperation agreement between Kyiv and Krakow, Kyiv Mayor had his attention span in a shambles. Instead of using the fountain pen, he mistakenly groped his way around the microphone through which he had delivered his speech just a minute ago. Thankfully, the aides quickly noticed the attempt to destroy the microphone and averted an international faux pas. Breaking microphones during the signing of a bilateral agreement is kind of un-European.
