Political WTFuckery

So our Prime Minister quit today. Out of the blue. One minute he's the Prime Minister, the next he's quitting.

I mean, I understand the guy. It's a tough gig nowadays. The country is in some deep shit. In the words of the man himself, U BANANI SMO. (We're in a banana. = We're screwed phrased in an extremely informal way, so very unfitting for a Prime Minister to use.)

You know the recession? Well, first the guy claimed THERE WAS NO RECESSION IN CROATIA. Because obviously, we know better than the rest of the world. Then he was like, OH ALL RIGHT, there might be SOME trouble ahead. The government then came up with some anti-recession measures that were NEVER PUT TO WORK. Of course, people are being fired all over the place, plants getting closed and what not, people are demonstrating in front of the Parliament almost every day. This is not a good time to be a Prime Minister, yanno? So the guy just QUIT.

He held a press conference where he said he was quitting for ~personal reasons~. I'm sorry, WHAT?! What does that even mean?!! So a journalist asks him what his reason for quitting just now was, and he says I GAVE YOU THE REASON! She goes UM, NO, YOU REALLY DIDN'T, and he starts yelling at her I'M NOT GONNA ARGUE WITH YOU HERE!

Also, he said: MY WORK HERE IS DONE AND NOW I GET TO STEP DOWN AND LET OTHERS TAKE OVER.

THE FUCKING NERVE.
