Idiot of the Month

I know the month's far from over, but José Socrates' smoking incident is so stupid, there's no doubt he gets this month's award.

Just what was he thinking (OK, he wasn't thinking)? Didn't he hear the warning, in 3 languages, that smoking is not allowed. TAP even gives you the number of the Decree Law which prohibits smoking - probably signed by the Prime Minister at the time, one J. Socrates!

Makes you wonder how many other laws he has passed that affect him personally, but that he is blissfully unaware of.

The excuse session was also embarassing - "I didn't know." Better not to clarify anything than to say that.
