菲律宾总统杜特尔特。
菲律宾总统杜特尔特一向以言论大胆而闻名，在各种公开场合爆粗口竖中指，只有你想不到，没有他做不到。美国前总统奥巴马、前国务卿克里、驻菲大使古德伯格都曾遭到他的“嘴炮”攻击。

相比之下，怼起自己人就更是家常便饭了。在最近一次爆发中，他瞄准了刚批评过他的消防局参议员迪克·戈登。
He walks like a penguin and won’t even fit into an ambulance due to excessive weight, Philippines champion of controversy, President Rodrigo Duterte, said of a local senator who dared to criticize his government appointments.
因不满自己的政府任命受到参议员(迪克·戈登)批评，菲律宾的辩论之王-总统杜特尔特说，戈登走路像企鹅一样，体重过重连救护车都塞不进去。
“My brain stays in my head. Your brain, Dick, is melting and goes to your stomach. You are a fart away from disaster,” Duterte warned Senator Dick Gordon at the Bureau of Fire Protection on Thursday.
周四杜特尔特提醒消防局参议员迪克·戈登：“我的大脑留在我的脑袋里。可是，迪克你的大脑啊，都已经消化到你胃里去了。你要放个屁可能就嗝屁了。”

这毒舌功力，恐怕连吵架王星爷都甘拜下风。
攻击完戈登的外形还不过瘾，杜特尔特又接着质疑起对方的出身。
Duterte also said that Gordon “walks like a penguin” and labeled his rival “a fool,” claiming that he wasn’t “really a Filipino” because he was half-white. Gordon’s father is a local politician with American-Jewish roots, who used to be the mayor of the southern city of Olongapo.
杜特尔特还说戈登“走路像企鹅”，并给他贴上“傻瓜”的标签，声称他“不是真正的菲律宾人”，因为他是半个白人。戈登的父亲是当地一名有美裔犹太血统的政治家，曾担任南部城市奥隆加坡的市长。

戈登到底说了什么话让总统如此大动肝火？
Gordon on Wednesday said that Duterte’s move to appoint former police officers and soldiers to government agencies is “dangerous.”
戈登星期三说，杜特尔特让退役警察和军官到政府任职的举动是“危险的”。
“It’s a dangerous one because civilian authority must remain supreme over the military.” the senator said in a statement.
他在一份声明中说：“这是一个危险的问题，因为文官权威必须保持高于军方权威。”
But Duterte insisted that appointing retired military officers is well within his power as Chief Executive.
但杜特尔特坚持认为，任命退役军官是他作为首席长官的权力范围。

ABS-CBN报道中还提到，戈登说杜特尔特“来自地方”，在首都马尼拉不认识那么多够格的人来担任政府角色。
对于总统的人身攻击，73岁的戈登在脸书上回应表示自己并没有觉得被冒犯。

Gordon responded to the attack on his weight by saying that he wasn’t at all offended by Duterte’s words. “As I have said, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and we cannot be onion-skinned about such things,” the 73-year-old wrote on Facebook.
戈登回应了对他体重的攻击，说他完全没有被杜特尔特的话冒犯。这位73岁的老人在脸书上写道：“就像我说的，每个人都有权发表自己的观点，对此我们不应该大惊小怪。”
“I am happy that the president is concerned about my waistline, but he need not worry about that. My wife has seen to it that I have reduced it significantly of late. But I appreciate that he is concerned about my health as I am about his.”
“我很高兴总统关心我的腰围，但他不必担心。我的妻子已经注意到，最近我已经减了不少。但我还是感谢他关心我的健康，就像我关心他的健康一样。”

戈登的大方表态迎来许多网友的赞赏。
哇，向你致敬，参议员戈登，感谢你理解我们的总统。你非常清楚他脑子里有太多事情要思考了。很高兴看到有人不在这个问题上小题大做耸人听闻。
参议员，你是一个真正的政治家。希望你的态度和问题管理能启发其他人，成为他们学会谦虚的榜样。
还有人表示如果2022年戈登参加大选，他一定会毫不犹豫地支持。
你的声明再次明确了你为这个国家和人民做出的奉献，让我们得以取得更好的成就。
各方面的成熟反映了你政治家风范中最好的品质。我很自豪地说，如果你决定参加2022年总统竞选，我们会投票给你！
感谢你出色的能力和辛勤的工作，戈登参议员。
不知道看到这样评论的杜特尔特会不会心塞？
