Aquino and the rest are all irrelevant

President B. S. Aquino 3rd has shot into outer space in his bid to become the greatest irrelevancy of our time. In 2010, before any cleric or electronic voting technician or analyst ever suggested he was merely a de facto president, a friend of mine made a bet, with some friends, that PNoy would promptly surpass his late mother’s record. My friend recently told me he had just paid off his losing bet. PNoy has made Gloria Macapagal Arroyo look like a candidate for sainthood; Joseph Ejercito Estrada, an intellectual and workaholic; and Cory Aquino, almost as good as gold.

Just when we needed to unite as one people in defense of the rule of law and the family and human life, PNoy chose to take the opposite side by paying off Congress to impeach and remove a sitting Chief Justice and enact a patently offensive law on Reproductive Health. And just when we needed to stand or perish together in defense of the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of our Republic, PNoy chose to pay off Congress yet once more to railroad the creation of an Islamic enclave for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
