Doing Crack at the Waldorf

TeePee is currently roughing it at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, supposedly lobbying for Stravaraland. At the end of an interview with the accompanying CyBC reporterette - he suggested that she ask him to elaborate on the Klokkaris Affair.

You may recall that this is what he did when he got off the plane after a previous trip to the real world, when he suggested to his captive audience of reporters that they should ask him what he thought of AKEL's quarrel with Politis.

This was a milestone in post-1974 history, which gave birth to the ambient atmosphere . As TeePee delivered the monster-child he pronounced:

"These people do not print receipts and therefore you cannot prove anything...everything is deduced from the ambient atmosphere..."

And thus he labeled a number of people as traitors, on the CIA payroll.

We now know that every time the great leader asks reporters to ask him something he has either had one too many or he is about to reveal his true feelings. It's very much like even the meanest mother-in-law crying at a wedding. And we all know how good this lad is when it comes to crying in public.

Meanwhile, back at the Waldorf, his latest outburst went something like:

"Four or five reporters - self-described political analysts - have created a storm in a teacup. I ask you, they say Klokkaris is an ethical person but then they also claim that we should not believe him when he says he is resigning due to health concerns. Well, they should choose. He is either ethical or a liar, they should choose whatever they prefer".

The implication is clear. Klokkaris is either ethical and truthful in resigning due to health reasons or he is a liar and should not have been appointed in the first place. I favour the former, as President and therefore stop breaking my balls and get on with it.

Well, the problem is, an ethical person who resigns because he is ridiculed and happens to have back pains, would rather say "I have back pains and I am resigning", than come out in public and say, "Look, you appointed me and I am grateful, but I have to tell the people that on top of having back pains, Jimmy the Sheftali and his supporters won't let let me do my job and the situation in this army of ours is nothing but a nightmare come true".

Klokkaris is not lying, Mr President, he is simply not telling the whole truth, so as to try and cover for you. There is a difference.

We stand by our 3% solution.

PS: We choose not to comment on the thinly veiled attempt to gag the media. Even in Stravaraland this will eventually come back to haunt you.
