Did you catch the interview with MR G on the English news channel last night?

I wasn't even sure if it was him until he started rattling off on the infamous form all over again. I thought what I saw instead was a doe-eyed deer caught with his eyes in the oncoming headlights.

Crash and burn, baby.

Pardon me, I'm not exactly pro-ruling party. Like all others, I believe in free speech, loosening of controls, a healthy mix of parties in our political system, and I'm definitely all against rising costs and all that moolah that's feeding them.

But - This entire Mr G saga is nothing short of a farce.

Sure, you might say, it's just a missing form and most people feel sorry for him that he's having to face the music for a MISSING FORM, nothing else. I would have voted for him if all he did after that was to come out and say, "I was an ass, blur like sotong, I kept the form without knowing what I did, I was an ass, I was an ass (to the power of 10), now if only everyone can move on".

The way I see it, he was a complete fool and no way am I going to place my vote on someone who's an idiot and does not have the guts to admit he was an idiot after being an idiot. I mean, c'mon, his own party did not have any explanation for what he did. Which goes to show the stupidity of it all.

Again, I'm not saying that everyone in the ruling party are genuises. But at least none of them has gotten themselves into trouble because of a MISSING FORM. Really.

Integrity is something that's always contestable. You can't pinpoint someone to the slaughter because he wasn't honest about a piece of document. To use those high and mighty terms in something as dirty as politics is being, well, phony. Unless you were really brought up in an ivory tower that tells you there's only goodness in this world and shuts you from the real evil around you, I can't believe anyone can sincerely cross their hearts and say that politicians are people of high moral integrity. Woe begone to you, if that's the case.

My point out of this almost pointless post is this - If you have to try anything dirty, even attempt it, for whatever reasons, do it so well that nobody catches you in the act. Because I'm looking at someone who's smart and effective to successfully lead an opposition against the mighty fortress, not a martyr about to be hanged a la Guy Fawkes. Which is only a good idea if your aim is to be commemorated in a film 400 years later.
