Grace Poe striptease: I no longer care to watch

Enough. A striptease is only interesting when the dancer has real assets to bare, and there is the promise of a payoff by show’s end. When the dancer is skinny and bares nothing but some obligatory bumps and grinds, and then does nothing to hold audience interest, spectators doze off or get drunk, whichever comes first.

I think of the analogy as I watch Sen. Grace Poe’s agonizing strip show on her possible candidacy for president in the 2016 elections. While some in the media continue to report and analyze the slightest twist in her countenance, there are others who, like me, have grown weary of everyone’s public courtship of her and of her coquettish statements about maybe or maybe not plunging into the presidential race.
