Marika Mitsotakis[edit]

(

)

... that Marika Mitsotakis, a former First Lady of Greece, once commented that if her husband, Prime Minister Konstantinos Mitsotakis, were chopped up, the small pieces could be sold as "Valium tablets"?

Sorry, but no. We don't put these kinds of negative comments about a living person on the front page. Would someone please suggest an ALT hook? --Rosiestep (talk) 04:11, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm..., that was a compliment, and I'm not sure why it would be taken as a negative comment at all. --PFHLai (talk) 07:47, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

I concede that my sensitivity about selling off the pieces of a chopped up person in a form so that someone can swallow them may have something to do with this weekend's cannibalism attack in Miami. And it's ok to whack me with a trout if my "sorry, but no" comment is inappropriate. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:54, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Alternative wording:

ALT1 ... that Marika Mitsotakis likened the political style of her husband, Greek Prime Minister Konstantinos Mitsotakis, to the calming effect of Valium? --Orlady (talk) 20:00, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Accepting ALT1. Article is new enough and long enough. The hook reference no longer works but accepting the hook fact in good faith. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:33, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
