Our garrulous senators

QUESTION: How many Philippine senators does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: 24 plus their assistants.

I can only observe with distress why nothing ever gets resolved in this country. MalacaƱang says they will not attend Senate hearings unless the Senate publishes the rules.

How many debates will we have over radio and television? How many statements to the press will we hear? How many bombastic and self-righteous remarks are we away from resolving this?

Maybe I just have a simple mind, but if the rules are already there, then just publish it so we can get moving on these investigations. Isn’t that the simplest, most direct step to take? Can these supposedly learned and principled men for once just do things right?

Just publish the damn rules and get it over with! What is so difficult with that?

    Hello, Guz: I believe the rules already been publish. And even though the senator’s going to publish it again thats don’t mean the crooks from Malacanyang Palace going to follow rule of law; As we already can see it. They’re doing everything in their power to cover-up all their corruption that is hounding her bogus regime. If she don’t have anything to hide why suppress the truth. Truth of the matter is she is guilty to the core. The truth is there for everyone to see. If you can’t see it then you’re blind.

    Malacanang says they will not attend the senate hearings.

    The guys in Malacanang are such kill joys. The senators won’t like that. Taking away the fun and free TV and radio plugs ain’t no way to treat the presidential-vice presidental wannabes.

    Oh, but the fun is to be seen on TV and heard over the radio especially now that 2010 is just around the bend. So don’t stress yourself out my friend, rules or no rules, more is yet to come. You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.

    Wala siguro rules itong Senado, simple lang ang request ilabas ang rules ng senado. Pag kayo ang inuutusan ang titigas ng ulo ninyo, kapag ayaw kayo sundin nanakot naman kayo ng contempt. Sayang lang ang pera ng taxpayers inaaksaya ninyo sa hearing at publisidad. Wala kayo ginawa kundi tirahin ang Presidente nagtatrabaho, araw-araw na puro pulitika ang naiisip ninyo. Check and balance kuno, sa inyo mga senador sino ang magtse-check and balance kung tama ang mga gastusin ninyo. Tigilan na ninyo ang Malacanang Palace. Pimentel mag resign ka na puro ka bintang sa kapwa mo wala ka naman evidence, sayang naman ang pagiging abogado mo, hindi mo ginamit puro ka pasikat. Sige, appeal kayo sa Supreme Court pero kung talo kayo matuto kayo sumunod karamihang sa inyo matitigas ang ulo. Kapag nanalo naman kayo sa Supreme Court ang yayabang naman ninyo at sasabihin dapat igalang ang decision, kapag natalo naman kayo ayaw ninyo igalang ang decision. Mga salbahe kayo. Magsilayas kayo sa Senado

    They would have to go thru a lot of holes. Which is damn numerous, I’d say. :/
