It's a dangerous delusion: Gloria actually feels she's being bullied when she has in fact bullied and beaten everyone into silence, with people like Gonzales speechless at the Senate, and direct witnesses like Garci choked and possibly muted forever.
Today there's talk of Gonzales's coronary angioplasty. A procedure involving pumping tiny balloons into a coronary artery to widen a blocked area that prevents the heart from functioning properly.
Well, something's blocked, that's for sure. And it's not just Gonzales's heart that's not functioning properly. Something someone somewhere has definitely got to be removed.
DECLARING that she is tired of "chasing the bully around the schoolyard," Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s tough-talking days are back and could actually signal a role reversal, with Malaca�ang hereon taking the offensive and the president seemingly acting the bully herself.
First, the "maximum tolerance" policy in dealing with street demonstrations has now been replaced with a "calibrated preemptive response" (echoes of U.S. Pres. George Bush’s preemptive strike policy?) meant to disperse rallies without permits and arrest "illegal" protesters.
Second, known vocal critics and those perceived to be anti-Arroyo are also now beginning to feel the brunt of what is viewed as Malaca�ang’s "vindictiveness" following Arroyo’s impeachment escape act two weeks ago that was masterfully performed by the pro-Arroyo House of Representatives.
