Tit for tat

The NP’s Villar asks in his ads: Naranasan nyo na bang matulog sa maikling bangko sa palengke (Have you ever slept on a short bench in the market)?”

“Yes,” says his closest rival, the LP’s Aquino.

And Aquino says he did it for two days in the basement of Malacañang at the height of the coup attempt against his mother’s administration in December 1989.

“I was supposed to sleep on [the dictator Ferdinand] Marcos’ dental chair, but two of our household helpers beat me to it. So I had to settle for the bangko,” Aquino said during after-dinner cocktails with reporters at the Gateway Hotel in Surigao City.

[MY COMMENT: Take note that it was lost to Noynoy Aquino that the question was: “Have you ever slept on a short bench in the market?” A short bench in the market, got that? Instead, he crows about his experience in the basement of Malacañang! Palengke ba ang basement ngMalacañang? Really now, what kind of perverted logic is that?]

Aquino has countered Villar’s sob stories with his own.

To Villar’s claim that he lost a sibling because his family could not afford to buy the necessary medication, Aquino said he lost his father from gunfire heard all over the world.

[MY COMMENT: “Aquino said he lost his father from gunfire heard all over the world.” Hey, by what stretch of logic is his loss of his father connected to the decibels of the gunfire that killed him? Or to the fact that that gunfire was “heard round the world”? Ano ba naman! All this sounds like a patintero logic to me! Noynoy’s thought process is beginning to get scary!]

To Villar’s story of being forced to sleep in the middle of the street during Christmas, Aquino claimed that he suffered a similar indignity when his mother and sisters were forced to strip down every time they visited his detained father.

What Aquino cannot match is Villar’s claim of having swum through a sea of garbage.

But he said: “I really doubt that. At Villar’s age, I don’t think the seas in his youth were dirty. So I don’t know what sea of garbage he swam in.”

[MY COMMENT: Oh, my, this is unbelievable! All these gut-wrenching non sequiturs straight from the mind of Noynoy Aquino is getting to be terrifying instead of being just being plain ludicrous!]

Heaven help us to have another terribly dimwitted president presiding over our destiny in this country!

With my best wishes,
M. Redondo
