Tăpălagă: Băsescu, sacrifice for the pink mermaid
“I have a hard time understanding how you were cast adrift in a lifeless swamp with a pink mermaid. How you have ended up, a skillful and experienced ship captain, falling from the tanker’s command in a small rowboat full of holes? What was it that disturbed your navigator’s compass?

Mungiu-Pippidi: Băsescu is digging his own grave
“Traian Basescu acts like a bus driver whose shift did not show up on time, he slept poorly, consumed too much the previous night, he is driving dangerously and, when passengers criticize him he wants to jump into the abyss with them all. Needless to say, if he had let anyone else drive, we would have managed somehow.

Andrei Cornea: Băsescu "killed” the bassism
"The Basism – a deliberately insulting name, concocted by the great opponents of the President and of his former supporters , a name later assumed with a certain pride by those dragged into the mud by the Antennas – has died. And not from a natural death. Its assassin is called Traian Basescu, even if, at times, there were other accomplices taking part in the killing “, wrote journalist Andrei Cornea, in Revista22.ro.
