It's a political circus
Re: "Freeman Thaksin awaits docs", and "New PM looks to future", (BP, Aug 19).
You must excuse me for taking so long to write this (chuckle, chuckle) response to recent articles in the Post. I am having a hard time stopping myself from rolling on the floor laughing.
The first piece of humour goes to the so-called certificate of innocence to be given to whatshisname in the next 120 days. Certificate of innocence? He is anything but innocent and certainly mimics the traits of someone named Trump. He was convicted. By definition, innocent means that someone did not do anything wrong. Therefore, he is anything but innocent. That piece of paper should say "released from judicial jurisdiction".
The second humorous article shows a picture of whatshisname in an official uniform. I was under the impression that convicts who held a political post were barred from wearing a uniform that leads people to believe that said person is in good standing in the political arena. Of course, he is probably indicating that he will soon be -- or already is -- calling the shots behind the scenes for the new PM. In title only? After all, he stated that she was not ready to assume that role, so why was she appointed to it? And, is there anyone who actually believes that he will not be giving directions (oops, spiritually giving guidance) to her 24/7? Of course, it is my opinion that all of this was planned and agreed to before his triumphant return. Can't wait to see who comes back here soon to a waiting commutation of sentence and VIP treatment for some malady that requires DoC intervention until release time -- if you know what I mean.
Come to think of it, shouldn't all of this be part of the comic section of the paper? But then TIT (This is Thailand).
