Far From Neutral Notions - Philippine politics, culture and stuff

In not-so-breaking news, a has-been (never-was?) “actor” — and I use the term loosely here — has finally confirmed joining the May 2007 fray. This time, it’s former matinee-idol Richard Gomez, whose political aspirations have never been a secret, but whose credentials are not so evident. If he even has any; that’d have to be the best kept secret in the world.

What, if any, can we expect from yet another no-talent hack, should he get a seat in the Senate?

1. More clueless grandstanding. See Jinggoy, Tito Sotto, both Ramon Revillas, Erap and others.
2. Too bad Joker Arroyo may not run for a second term; the look on his face while trying to fathom Goma’s idiocy would be priceless.
3. A staring contest to decide national policy.
4. More bad acting from Goma, trying to look hurt because his “peers” underestimate his intellect.
5. God I can’t wait for Miriam to just go off on this guy.
6. Endless hours of Goma going on about sports and MAD. In the middle of a budget meeting.
7. Fistfight!!!
8. Can you just imagine if John Osmena or Ernie Maceda were still Senators, with Goma and his alleged homophobia in the same room?
9. Lucy Torres everywhere. Not such a bad thing, that. If only it isn’t a ploy to push Goma even further up the political ladder.
10. Bench Upperhouse Underwear™. I am filing for a trademark at this moment. Domaineers of the world, take note: this domain will be hot!
