Yesterday the Romanian PM Calin Popescu Tariceanu didnn't even allow Romania's foreign minister Adrian Cioroianu to speak up and explain the latest bricks he had dropped during the NATO summit in Bucharest. Liberal sources claim: "The PM cut Ciorianu's zeal short, but in an elegant manner. The foreign minister wanted to speak up during the meeting of the Central Political Commitee of the National Liberal Party. The guy is kind of embarrassing. Now he can't even open his mouth in leaders' meetimgs. Even when he tries to give some explanation, the PM cuts it short. One drops a brick, one drops two, but then one stops. He is a haughty dandy who should have hired himself some image advisers." (R.G.)
