Make Way for the Kid

TeePee's son, Nicholas Papadopoulos, wrote a letter to the press protesting Nick Anastasiades’ jibe of "[refusing] to respond to a man his age". Nick A is another of those politicians that unfortunately cannot really be trusted, maybe he is too good at what he does. He, like TeePee, also suffers from the inability to curb his natural instinct, which is to avoid saying anything of substance by making sarcastic comments about an opponent.

Sarcasm is a trait that he could probably do without, but perhaps this suggestion comes a bit late in the day. Maybe he should switch, like Kykkou Nikiforos, and dye his hair white rather than black. It might give him a more senatorial look.

But I digress. What actually amazes me is young Nicholas' audacity to write a letter entitled “Topo sta Niata” (Make way for youth). The letter was addressed to Nick Anastasiades, but the audacity of the letter is again amazing. This is the son of a guy who will run for another 5 years at age 74. Are we to assume that this youngster knows something we don’t?

Or maybe he should consult his father before he fires off another opinion in the general direction of the press.
