Hubris ahoy - another one crashes onto the rocks

We have attractive wooden beams on the ceilings in France so the cat’s claws have been firmly embedded in 300 year-old wood rather than the usual ceiling fan in Taipei. 

The reason for the latest bout of feline fury is the hapless Gao Hongan who seems to think the happenstance of going to a certain university seems to give her the right to belittle others. 

It’s highly entertaining when monumentally empty-headed politicians give us a virtuoso performance of arrogance, only to fall flat on their face. 

In an act akin to dozing off while driving a car at 130kph and expecting no consequences, Gao went sleepwalking into a fusillade of criticism over the pompous and self-important assertion that somehow anyone who went to Chung Hua University was somehow a lesser being.

Aside from the ins-and-outs of this particular affray it staggers me that someone seeking political office would say such things out-loud and in public. Just how dumb do you have to be to not to expect any blowback of criticism? 

What makes this case even worse is the fact she quickly got an onion out to force fake tears on TV sobbing people were getting at her. 

Amid accusations of bullying over what she said, the Taipei Mayor who, amazingly, managed to insult every victim of rape alive in the world today by comparing this ridiculous unimportant political spat to one of the worst crimes on the planet. 

Very well done Mayor, you just proved you are even dumber than Gao, although this kind of crassness and stupidity is what we have all long-ago come to expect from you. You don’t have to keep proving that you are unfit to run a bath, let alone anything that affects the public. 

Roll-on November. 

Sensible politicians, and by that I mean good politicians, have the breathtaking ability to actually think for a nano-second before they speak. UK politicians, for example Borish Johnson and Liz mis-Truss would never dream of openly boasting they went to Oxford, the top British university, as they know they would be ripped to shreds by the public who revile pomposity in all its forms. 

People with an ounce of sense could never vote for people who display such boundless arrogance. If they have no ability to think about the consequences of their utterances, muchless the consequences of their actions, if they do gain political power, they are clearly unfit for any public office.  

To cast a vote in their favour risks putting a poisoner in charge of a jam factory. 

Tinkerty Tonk…
