You're right about Ponta. OMG, he's SEE! Obvious is obvious!

My initial typing of Traian Basescu was ILE, then changed to LIE. Whatever.

Elena Udrea - I suspected LSE, but SLE might fit better.

Dunno about Boc.

As for Gigi Becali, I thought maybe SEE? But IEE is a real possibility. Whatever he is, he's the SUPERFUNNY type, that's for sure...

Thanks for the brainstorming session, it was ggggreat!
