don't know much about her politics but that Filipino president is one fine

[Bucky]

elegant, gorgeous lady. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo: I'm like, wow, what a looker! Why can't we have a president like that. And I don't mean she's just beautiful for, you know, a politician. She's a total package in her own right.

Look here, 58 years old and she can hold her own next to American idol bronzer, Jasmine Trias.

That's not just good grooming, folks, that's pure class wrapped up in a powder blue summer weight wool pantsuit.

Don't think for a second, ladies, that you can hold a candle to this reformer, crook buster, terrorist-defuser, hottie. She's just making it look easy--a lady always will. Here's President Arroyo taking a cool, commanding leisurely stroll past an honor guard during an official state visit from Cheney's trained court fool.



Notice how Arroyo's a comfortable two paces behind Bush. That ain't some demure version of Third World female deference to men. Instead this sweet li'l bundle of sexy goodness is simply soundly in command of the situation tho surrounded by men who are either well armed or, in one case there, potentially violent when drunk. While Arroyo parades past the honor guard with class, poise, and confidence, out impetuous gigglemonkey-in-chief can hardly keep from bounding down the row of toy soldiers like a brat running down the aisle at a Toys R Us.

So, I salute you Gloria Arroyo, president, leader, reformer, sex kitten. meow!

1. Isn't she in trouble for corruption or something?

2. Arroyo is corrupt.

She rigged her last election.
She and her husband took money from
gambling syndicates.
And she just beat impeachment
by buying off legislators.

She was also an early partner in
BushCo's coalition of the bought off.
Don't judge her by her looks.

3. Every "politician" is corrupt, in one way or another...

As the saying goes, "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Excerpt from "Fascist America", by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.:

"... The Republicans are 95 percent corrupt and the Democrats are 75 percent corrupt,' Kennedy. 'They are accepting money from the same corporations. And of course, that is going to corrupt you.'

>snip<

Kennedy also quotes Benito Mussolini's insight that 'fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.'

'The biggest threat to American democracy is corporate power,' Kennedy told us. 'There is vogue in the White House to talk about the threat of big government. But since the beginning of our national history, our most visionary political leaders have warned the American public against the domination of government by corporate power. That warning is missing in the national debate right now. Because so much corporate money is going into politics, the Democratic Party itself has dropped the ball. They just quash discussion about the corrosive impact of excessive corporate power on American democracy.'"

I don't know enough about Arroyo to tell you how she is corrupt or how corrupt she is. But, I do know that the corruption in our own country is killing it.

4. I'm engaged to a Filipina

She runs our relationship like Arroyo runs her politics. She stole the leadership position, sucked all my money up, and always puts down my coup attempts.

But she is always there.And she is a sex Kitten.
