[Gonul]

Aklima Tansu Çiller'in "Yale'de hocaligi" geldi. Ah Hasan Bülent Paksoy hoca,
biz Türkiye'de bu Amerikalilar gibi con-men ve women'imizin maharetlerinden
kendimizi mahrum etmek enayiliginde bulunmuyoruz, onlara sonuna kadar
hizmet ettiriyoruz. Seçmen, Uzan için ne diyormuş: dinsizin hakkindan ancak
imansiz gelir;
IMF'ye, Baykal'in çömezi olmayi paye sayan ölümlü petit bourgeois Derviş efendi
degil,
Cem Uzan kafa tutabilir.
