Does Egemen Ba??? have a right to be so artistic?

Here is Egemen Ba???, one of the four ex-cabinet ministers facing graft charges who were acquitted at parliament on Jan. 20. He cast his own vote during the vote for trial at the Supreme Council.

He artistically threw the envelope into the ballot box. He had an arrogant, sarcastic smile on his lips? His eyes were indifferent and casual. In his attitude, there was an exaggerated ease?

He acted in such a way and his gesture was so artistic that whoever saw him might think he had shown the courage to challenge the court by saying, ?Try me, mighty court.? His artistic gesture was suitable for a man who roared, ?You cannot take my right to be acquitted from me,? as if he challenged with ?I am not afraid; I have done nothing wrong. Send me to court.? People would think he had cried, ?Here I am, there is not one penny I cannot give an account for??

He made such a gesture as if to say, ?I challenge you all and respond equally,? that whoever saw him would assume he had performed with great heroism, had challenged all of the courts of the world and did not hesitate a moment to appear before the court?

It was as if he had screamed the place down by saying, ?Come and face me, prove that I took bribes placed in a chocolate box??

Well done Zafer Ça?layan, Muammer Güler and Erdo?an Bayraktar. At least they did not attempt to stage artistic shows on heroic deeds they never did. They knew how to act with an undistinguished feeling of embarrassment, with a small dose of humiliation and some blushing.  

But, when it comes to Ba???, even though he is a quitter who did not dare to even fight for two minutes on the battlefield, he did not refrain from posing as if he was the biggest warrior in history.

Thus, he made us...
