O populismo ainda comanda o PSD?
Esta imagem veio aqui parar de arrastão e foi apanhada em Setúbal.
Como o PSD distrital de Setúbal é um mundo à parte, custa-me a acreditar que o cartaz tenha sido aprovado a nível nacional. Oxalá não me engane. Mas não há ninguém que pergunte aos porta-vozes do PSD se conceberam, autorizaram ou contemporizam com esta mensagem hiperpopulista? Atrevo-me a acreditar que a resposta seria embaraçada e embaraçosa. Caso contrário, não se perceberia porque substituiu o PSD Luis Filipe Menezes por Manuela Ferreira Leite.

Resposta a João Delgado, homem de esquerda
Censura por simpatia - as partes omitidas da entrevista de Sarah Pahlin à ABC
GIBSON: Have you ever met a foreign head of state?
PALIN: There in the state of Alaska, our international trade activities bring in many leaders of other countries.
GIBSON: And all governors deal with trade delegations.
PALIN: Right.
GIBSON: Who act at the behest of their governments.
PALIN: Right, right.
GIBSON: I’m talking about somebody who’s a head of state, who can negotiate for that country. Ever met one?
PALIN: I have not and I think if you go back in history and if you ask that question of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I just gave you. But, Charlie, again, we’ve got to remember what the desire is in this nation at this time. It is for no more politics as usual and somebody’s big, fat resume maybe that shows decades and decades in that Washington establishment, where, yes, they’ve had opportunities to meet heads of state … these last couple of weeks … it has been overwhelming to me that confirmation of the message that Americans are getting sick and tired of that self-dealing and kind of that closed door, good old boy network that has been the Washington elite.
