President is rude again

Romanian President Traian Basescu hasn't given up his dirty language. After "faggot", "pussy" and "filthy gypsy", yesterday he told a female journalist: "Of course. I'll come straight to your office and we do it".
President Basescu has never made a secret of his disdain for journalists. The words quoted above are words he used to call some journalists. But there are also statements with indecent hints. Yesterday while in Branesti, Romania, the President was asked by a female journalist if he was making a statement in Bucharest on the failure on the bill against the government. And he answered: "Of course. I'll come straight to your office and we do it".
The President took various TV shows and interviews for opportunities to express his opinion on journalists: "The press is more hungry for shows than politicians are. Many a time journalists provoke the show or do away with it. I can give a list of 10 journalists who would starve to death, were there no politicians".
Liberal senator Puiu Hasotti: "Bad manners"
"To be ironical is one thing, typical of the clever people. But bad manners are something else. One mustn't mistake one for the other".
Democrat senator Radu Berceanu: "No sexual connotation"
"Some people prove a certain sexual call. I watched the recording on TV and I can only say the President gave a right answer to the journalist's question. It had no sexual connotation".
Lavinia Sandru, deputy from the National Initiative Party: "He is constant"
"He is constant. Because of such statements he has obviously lost women's support. The National Council against Discrimination should take action".
Political analyst Stelian Tanase: "A truck diver style"
"There can be two possible explanations. One is related to his temper and reminds about his noisy young years. The second one is that people like his truck driver style, part of electoral calculations. He releases anti-capitalist messages against the educated class, but people appreciate it. People don't pay attention to such speech and the impression left is that it is normal for journalists and educated people to be aggressed, even verbally. After offending the Antena 1 journalist in the referendum day, he popularity was not at all harmed".
