If you're a Polish politician the top three measures of 'fitness' are always sobriety, education, and some vague feeling of sophistication. In other words, if you want to be rude about a Polish politician, the most effective way is to call him an uneducated drunk. In the UK, for example, a good way of hurt a politician would be to call him a teetotal, over-educated snob (i.e. too sophisticated). In the US you would just call him an atheist. Fascinating stuff.Island1http://polandian.home.pl/noreply@blogger.com
