Russia and Miss Constitution

Reuters reported yesterday that Russia's new contest, Miss Constitution--much like Miss America--must symbolize the new Constitution. How she must do that is confusing: by being "Talented, clever, erudite, artistic, witty, graceful, flexible and most important of all not without sparkle." How is flexible and beautiful like the Constitution, one wonders? The group, Nashi, is pushing for new legislation that would allow previous President Putin to become president again. The current law allows four years, the new would allow six. How a young, beautiful, talented, FLEXIBLE woman is going to represent those changes is perplexing, at best.
