"New stars", looking like some comets shaking their tails, have appeared in the cloudy sky of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) lately.
By MARIUS TUCA - February 2nd 2005
Nastase and Iliescu, blinded by their translucent light, look like some glowworms looking for the enlightened exit. No, no, no, you didnât guess. We are not talking about Miron Mitrea or Dan Ioan Popescu. They have been in the spotlights for a long time now, but chose for more hidden places now. They would be anywhere, but always behind Ion Iliescu. It is a must. Ion Iliescu has to take care of these powerful lights now in order for them to be able to take closer looks at Adrian Nastase. This is because he might leave the party at some time and then
they would not have whom to vote for. Maybe you thought about Ponta. Victor Ponta. Youâre wrong! His majesty became famous ever since he was unfortunately mistaken for Nicolae Titulescu. I have to say that, in spite of all the appearances, he has only disliked the particle "little" in front of the name of Titulescu. But, little Titulescu, with a height where the vinegar mites hardly breathe, due to the "lack of oxygen", didnât like the prefix and ⦠what was I saying? It doesnât matter, you know what I mean. I was talking about the new stars! The SDP ones. I was talking about them. Not Miron Mitrea, not Dan Ioan Popescu, not Ponta Victor, but who? Marian Oprisan! Applause! Baron of Vrancea. Appaluse! Yes, you read well. For some time now, he is the SDP spokesperson. He is the one that talks about the partyâs reorganization, about what should Nastase do, about what Iliescu shouldnât do and so on. He is the SDP reformer. The press cultivates the new SDP star more than they were doing during the times when he was a model for Adesgo. At that time, Adrian Nastase couldnât have imagined that the model Oprisan would have the guts of trying to be the SDP model. Well done!
Another "boy-superstar" who tries to step up in front of SDP is someone named Lapusan. He, after being pushed out of the room, wants to get back in using a letter. Lapusan, as well as Oprisan, likes the spotlights. But he doesnât know anything about the lights at the Criminal Investigations, those would suit him a lot better. Anyway, when one sees Lapusan, he suddenly sees Mischie as a lot more likeable person. Speaking of lights: my recommendation for Oprisan and Lapusan is the flashlight. They could get away with illegally crossing the frontier if they use a flashlight. They are very unlikely to succeed in doing that if they are in the spotlights of SDP.
