Over at the group effort Le Blog du Congolais, Congolese blogger Ben-Clet deplores the ethics of Congolese  Vice-President Abdoulaye Yerodia who recenty  insulted two political rivals (Pierre Pay Pay and Etienne Tshisekedi ) during a live television broadcast:  “Arming yourself with Lingala, one of 4 national languages, you tried to impress the members of your party [PPRD].  The flow of profanities that you uttered shocked  unsuspecting  viewers who expected a wise if not balanced political message. End result: many women, men and youth have been “offended” by your trivial discourse”.
