    Damn it !
    I must say sadly that u were right last year when you said that USL is not far away at all from the PDL plague..
    Now Ponta-Tonta (goofy) is the best partner with the last Dictator in the EU, after “The pact with the Devil ScumBăse” of December 2012 and as a result of that pact any track/proof of plagiarism from June/July 2012 proven by the orange plague prosecutors is a joke now.. concluded friendly by the same dirty prosecutors..
    All these dirty games under the table manufactured & delivered by this terrible villain evil ScumBăsescu, creates headaches even for the best political analysts in the world.. 🙁
