Our politician sure are suave in screwing the people (that’s us) up.

The victory celebration for the opposition win in the Senate of the Republic was premature. We saw the term turncoat being redefined as political savvy. In this, Manny Villar and Loren Legarda are the same.

To keep his post as President of the Senate, Villar, who ran under the opposition banner, sought the support of the Siths, er, administration and fence-straddlers when the opposition nominated Aquilino Pimentel Jr. for president of the chamber. The opposition, who should be the majority, became a minority, all because they are composed of ambitious, anti-people politicians who would rather screw up their mandates than sacrifice their hideous ambitions. Now we have a mongrel of a majority in the Senate.

(This is to be expected from Villar. Remember 2000?)

And now, this.

Gloria, Loren kiss, laugh and make up

We’ll see what happens after this. Note that Legarda is as suave as Villar when it comes to crossing fences.

So that’s two presidentiables stricken off on my list. If Panfilo Lacson is not careful, he will be next.
