Too Late…

Wednesday, February 6, 2008

Last Monday, we witnessed the former speaker who had his "ten long minutes" to voice out his anger. On the verge of being ousted from his post, the poor fellow from Pangasinan gave a speech that, I believe, only his fanatics could stomach.

The former Mr. Speaker appeared to be a ‘kid’ whose lollipop was taken. He gave a litany of what he has done for Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. It appeared to me that the former Mr. Speaker would want to show to the public that he was the ‘king maker’- that, if not for him, Gloria would not be in Malacanang right now. He said that he did this and that. His speech was actually teeming with fallacious arguments. Instead of rantings, the former Mr. Speaker should just have focused on the issue on why he should not be removed from the Speakership.

I believe that what he did last Monday was just a ploy to defer his impending ouster. And of course, the question of why only now lingers.
