...bowiem na to wygląda jeśli czytam "Coś wisi w powietrzu? Niespodziewana deklaracja Tuska. "Grzeczny to już byłem""
A swoją drogą — jeśli z mojego tekstu ktoś wyczyta, że uważam Tuska za „drugiego Mussoliniego”, to chyba jednak z należytą starannością tekstu nie doczytał.
Napisałem przecież „nadwiślańska karykatura włoskiego il Duce”.
Jeśli zaś mimo to wyszło, że porównuję obu panów jako polityków, to pozostaje mi tylko jedno:
przeprosić Mussoliniego.
Był, jaki był, ale na zestawianie go z Tuskiem z pewnością sobie nie zasłużył...

Is Our Very Own Vistula-Side Caricature of Il Duce Planning a “March on Warsaw”?
I am asking rhetorically.
Because that is rather what it looks like when I read the headline:
“Something in the Air? Tusk’s Unexpected Declaration: ‘I’ve Been the Good Boy Long Enough.’”
And then this:
“In my youth, I also acquired various skills that may prove useful in this new form of political struggle or confrontation.”
But what made me laugh — through the tears, admittedly — in this particular tragicomedy was this:
“I’ll say this — I’ve never put it quite so openly before, but I want you to hear it here. (…) There is a chessboard. We agree to play chess. I sit there, thinking about my next move, and then a guy comes along from the other side with a baseball bat...”
You?
A master of playground scuffles and penny-arcade games — playing chess?
Even if I had not known you, Tusk, from afar for years as well as I do, I still would not believe it.
Then again — as a graduate of the illustrious University of Gdańsk, where none other than Professor Jerzy Zajadło helps shape the Republic’s future cadres — perhaps you do at least know that such a game exists.
That much I am prepared to believe.
And, incidentally, if anyone reads my text as saying that I regard Tusk as “the second Mussolini”, then clearly they have not read it with quite the care it deserves.
I wrote “our very own Vistula-Side caricature of Il Duce.”
A caricature, not a reincarnation.
If, despite that, someone still concludes that I am seriously comparing the two men as politicians, there is really only one thing left for me to do:
apologize to Mussolini.
He was what he was.
But he certainly did not deserve to be compared with Tusk.
