I'm hungarian ,and I have to tell you all folks,that we don't have any proverbs about monkeys.

Edit Herczog is an arrogant idiot.

[mikkvannak]

i am Hungarian, too - never heard such a proverb and ashamed to watch this women using her broken English to express her stupid ideas. And her arrogance is that of a 5-years old.. And she get paid for representing us.. Irritating. But she is only one of the many.

[ludvvigg]

who is that woman? I have never heard about her however I am a Hungarian. This slob brings shame on us.

Damn, the whole Eu is filled with such a well paid bureaucrats that can not even express themselves in English.

Hilary Clinton was a gay youth 50 years ago.

[alecrebel]

Sheesh! She's a bloody disgrace! Perhaps she should consider selling pencils on some shady street corner in Budapest instead of representing Hungary. In fact, she looks like a hippo on prozac that has not seen water in weeks. She really needs a bath to start off with, followed by a change of clothes ...

I have heard of paying peanuts and you get monkeys - in this case we are paying through the nose and still we get monkeys. Me thinks the lady from Hungary is too used to having people appointed, maybe one day she will be able to think for herself and get to grips with what democracy means.

[Zsuzsi24]

God..at least she should have combed her hair.. and maybe its me who is ignorant but I have never heared that proverb she quoted in Hungary

[puzokutya]

my god....the hungarian sociailsts have clearly outdone themselves again, appointing this...talking thing to the parliament. I mean I'm amazed that she can walk upright, let alone come up with such brilliant rhetoric schemes. She should be appointed ruler of the world. And by ruler I mean the thing use to measure things.

[zagyex]

Well you have spoken like a true british, taking advantage of, enslaving, feudalizing every other nation possible.
