Bisa-bisa apa yg kemarin saya bilang jadi kenyataan. Matori kan sudah dari
awal bilang bahwa duet Mega-Akbar yang paling pas. Sekarang ini Matori
membuat statement tidak akan menerima pidato Habibie. Thus, Akbar dkk dapat
menjatuhkan Habibie. Marjuki yang juga sudah pernah membuat statement duet
Mega-Akbar paling tepat akan segera mengusulkan Akbar jadi wapres (soalnya
Akbar tidak akan mengusulkan diri sendiri dong, biasa lah budaya Melayu
kita).
Holly cow.... apa ini puzzle yg sudah dirancang mereka sejak 2 minggu lalu?
