Let's think for a change

It's funny what we hear from people's mouth once in a while.
I don't know if you heard it, but José Socrates- our previous Prime Minister- is back to Portugal and has now a weekly job commenting  the week's news on TV.
For those who don't know he had gone to Paris after loosing the elections (apparently to be on a course, which one we don't know, let's just hope he attended the classes on this one since he's skipped it in Portugal but managed to get hs diploma with a little help from his friends....)
Several anomalies came to light on the months before those elections.
Family members with large money accounts abroad is just an exemple.
And let's not forget that he has been living abroad all this time without actually working, what make (or should) make us question: "Where did he get the money to live (unemployed) on one of the most expensive cities in the world?"
He said on TV that it had been one of our banks-CGD- lending him the money to do so, but I have never seen a bank doing charaty work to single individuals...
I doubt they would consider it if he had nothing to cover the debt...
But what really puts me off is to see how some people believe in him despite of everything he's done.
Last week a man came to the shop and started talking about how wrongly the media had treated José Socrates and how no one had been able to prove his corruption.
Have people no brain at all? Do they like to be considered fools?
If he had nothing to hide, why  not present irrefutable evidence of his innocence? Something that left no doubts about it? In a court of law words mean nothing, if you don't have physical evidences of what you are saying. The same should apply to him for we all know how good he is with words, yet actions are another matter...
