On Jejomar Binay

With all the bad news floating around in the news today, it’s really not uncommon for me to get upset at the headlines.But for today, I got driven into the wall by the Philippine Stars Banner story:

“RP’s Obama? Binay declares presidential bid.”

While I respect Binay’s right to throw his hat in our messed up political arena, let me just ask:

WHAT THE FUCK?SERIOUSLY? RP’S OBAMA?

I mean.. seriously? Mr. Mayor, where the hell do you get off comparing yourself to Barack Obama?Our brand of politics is embarrassing enough, you branding yourself as an agent of change is just more than I can bear.I’m fucking sorry if I don’t fucking agree with your warped fucking assessment but you are, always have and will always fucking be TRAPO.Please do not insult my intelligence by making yourself rise above the cesspool of muck and intrigue you have long ago chosen to wade in.

DO NOT, I repeat, PLEASE DO NOT ruin this moment for me.I have been on an unbelievable high the past few weeks about Obama.I implore you not to ride the coattails of his election.YOU ARE NOT, NEVER WILL BE, a quarter of the man Barack Obama is.You are a political hack, a corrupt trapo and a no-good purveyor of the bullcrap the opposition has been hashing out.

Give me Chiz Escudero please.While I don’t always agree with his principles, at least I find him to be more palatable than you.WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO SERIOUSLY COMPARE YOURSELF TO OBAMA? You are not an agent of change.You are a remnant of the old corrupt Gentleman’s Club that was evicted out of Malacañang in Edsa Dos.

This is why we need to change the way we think.We cannot allow people like Jejomar Binay to make a farce of the real change that people are pining for.

If this is meant to be a joke Mr. Binay, nobody’s laughing.If you are actually serious, then you are as laughable as the comedians you pal around with.What this country needs is less bullshit and more governance.What this country needs is more leadership and less intrigue.You couldn’t have picked a worse day. Really, be fucking original.

Starting your campaign riding on the coattails of a global headline is cheap and shallow. If you want to be a real agent of change, put out a substantive platform. Do not belittle the greatness of other people by associating your stained and failed image with them. Please, we are embarrassed enough by our politicians without having to add you to that very long list.

If any of his political advisers happen to read this post, PLEASE TELL HIM TO SHUT THE FUCK UP BECAUSE HE HAS NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT.

Having Binay compare himself to Obama is like listening to George W. Bush comparing his intellect to Da Vinci. It’s just wrong on so many levels.
