Almas gémeas

Todos nós possuímos, algures nesse mundo, ao menos uma alma gémea. A do dr. Santana Lopes está na Alemanha. A de Gerhard Schröeder está em Portugal. Pelo menos a avaliar pelo tom deste interessante comentário às memórias escritas pelo antigo chanceler social democrata. Como não podia dexair de ser, li com um sorriso nos lábios esta passagem:

"And just in case you were wondering too, never once in this book does Schröder presents himself as contemptible or disreputable. Every one of his decisions was right, every one of his proposals, crowned with success. There are no blunders to speak of. If anything did go wrong, it was the fault of others, whose weaknesses he is magnanimously prepared to overlook, as long as confessions were made. Of course other people have different opinions, one is a democrat after all, but these opinions are "absurd", "distorted" "unrealistic" by turns and if he feels himself being backed into a corner, then an "I'm certain of it" or an "I am utterly convinced" always comes in useful for silencing persistent doubters."
