Comedian Sándor Fábry was a guest on Alinda Veiszer's new show the other day, but the conversation, which promised to be interesting, went awry. The presenter wanted to ask Fábry about his political self at all costs, but after a while he announced that he did not want that, and would rather end the dialogue. He revealed so much, he likes Orbán, but he hates Gyurcsány, like... (he said what). We also learned that he turned away from the liberals because of the former SZDSZ-MSZP coalition. "They announced a very serious anti-communist program, for which they slept with their own murderers a few weeks after the elections."
The unusual conversation left a deep impression on SZDSZ founder Mária Vásárhelyi, who hastily drew Fábry's portrait. (Although it was more like his own self-portrait.) "If he hadn't been a talented person in the past, he wouldn't deserve a word." If he was as untalented, frustrated and vengeful as the other voices in the hate club, I wouldn't have even watched the conversation. (…) But Fábry was a real talent, perhaps the most talented of his professional generation."
Then, after a short pause: "And now I see a hateful, untalented, small-minded, frustrated liar," writes behavioral researcher Mária. "Patterns of Fidesz's hate commando come out of his mouth. It's as if I'm listening to Mária Schmidt or Zsolt Bayer (intentionally lowercase). But I don't listen to them, because I know that they speak of hatred born of incompetence."
And he writes, he writes... The bubbling rage of those forced out of power pours out of our Mária, which, since the regime change, has imbibed itself in Hungarian public life without venting. (While his party, thank God, has already taken the parliamentary draft.)
