Vozi Misko - Napadnut Mladen Pavic


GLASNOGOVORNIK Jadranke Kosor Mladen Pavić u Vukovarskoj aveniji imao je bliski susret s prosvjednicima. Pavić je zapeo u koloni koja se stvorila kad su prosvjednici krenuli u marš prema HRT-u. Nekoliko prosvjednika ga je prepoznalo, te su mu lupali i pljuvali po autu.
"Nisam se bojao", kazao je Pavić, koji je događaj prepričao u razgovoru za Index. "Vraćao sam se kući s posla i sasvim slučajno se našao u Vukovarskoj ulici dok su prolazili prosvjednici", kaže Pavić. Glasnogovornika Vlade u koloni automobila najprije je prepoznala jedna starija gospođa.
"Počeo sam razgovarati s njom, bila je jako fina i kulturna", kaže Pavić kojem se starija prosvjednica pojadala zbog teške životne situacije koja ju je natjerala da izađe na ulice. "Dok sam razgovarao s njom, prepoznali su me još neki mlađi prosvjednici. Pljuvali su mi po autu, osjetio sam nekoliko udaraca u automobil, ali ne znam jesu li udarali rukama i nogama ili je bila bačena i kakva boca", kaže nam Pavić.
Glasnogovornik Vlade tvrdi da prosvjednici nisu udarali samo njegov automobil, već su lupali i ostale automobile koji su zapeli u koloni u Vukovarskoj. "Starija gospođa s kojom sam razgovarao tada mi je rekla da je bolje da odem, kako ne bi bilo još većih problema. Također se ogradila od tih mlađih prosvjednika koji su udarali po automobilima, nije joj se svidjelo njihovo ponašanje", rekao je Pavić zaključivši da je sve ipak prošlo bez znatnijih incidenata.

Worst Political Speech Ever - Phil Davison


Sometimes local politics can be boring, but not when you have someone like Phil Davison. In a campaign speech asking for Stark County, Ohio’s Treasurer, Davidson screams and shouts and looks less like he’s trying to get the Republican nomination and more like he’s defending his heavyweight crown. Clearly he learned the wrong lesson from Linda McMahon. You’re supposed to go from wrestling to politics. Not the other way around.
In the amazing video uploaded by the Stark County Political Report, Davison rants for a solid six minutes while the audience tries (and fails) to hold back laughter. While his eyes alternate between studying his prepared notes and bugging the hell out his sockets, he promises listeners that “drastic times call for drastic measures.” Whether or not those measures include a hardcore sleeper hold is not yet clear.
Still though, the more politics look like professional wrestling, the better. Not only will it help fulfill the prophecy set forth in Mike Judge’s Idiocracy, it will also be a whole lot more entertaining.

Evo Morales knees football opponent in groin


Bolivian president, Evo Morales, knees La Paz town hall player, Daniel Cartagena, in the groin during a football match.
The friendly match started when, wearing a No 10 green jersey, Morales, a football fanatic and Bolivia's first indigenous president, led his team of bodyguards and officials on to the artificial pitch.
The yellow team was led by Luis Revilla, mayor of La Paz and a political ally turned foe of the president. After smiles and handshakes the game began. Within five minutes Daniel Gustavo Cartagena, in the No 2 jersey for the mayor's team, scythed into the president after he passed the ball, gashing his right leg.
Morales, 50, a former Aymara llama herder and coca farmer, is not known for indulging critics, let alone people who foul him. He walked up to Cartagena, indicated his wound, then kneed him in the groin. The player collapsed, prompting audible whistles from spectators.
The match swiftly deteriorated into a bad-tempered, foul-filled contest which arguably mirrored the Andean country's combative politics. By the end, the match drawn at 4-4, two players from each side had been sent off, including Cartagena and one of the president's bodyguards.
One bodyguard tried to arrest Cartagena after the final whistle, the newspaper La Razón reported, but he was released after Revilla intervened.
Morales denied ordering the arrest but was unrepentant about his response to Cartagena's foul. "I passed the ball and suddenly I received a hammering. It's not the first time it happened," the president told reporters hours later.
