Those whom the gods wish to destroy... they first make mad


Statement — attributed to Euripides (c. 480 BC) in reference to those who had become crazed by power — suspiciously applies to the present-day handlers of the presidential bid of Noynoy Aquino.
The handlers have acted arrogantly with the thought that the presidency is theirs for the taking. They had better perish that thought by now.

In the afterglow

Other seizures of madness followed.

Two weeks into

It was nonchalant

It was methodical

It was incautious

It was arrogant

It was presumptuous madness for Noynoy to expose his dictatorial streak when he threatened not to recognize anyone who accepts an appointment as chief justice extended by the incumbent President. Imagine the fallout that he got from this idiotic statement! Whoever gave Noynoy this advice deserves a drill on the head.

It was slovenly

It is juvenile

It is infantile madness for Noynoy and his handlers to rely completely on the name of his parents, and even fail to make a name for himself. The time has come for Noynoy to stand on his own. Sadly, he forgot that elections progress in phases, yet he got stuck in the euphoria of August 2009, and never moved on.

It is insensitive

The LP leadership
Who is in charge, really? Definitely not Noynoy, who has failed to show the voters he can really hack it as an executive. If he cannot even put order to his campaign, how can he even pretend that he will be able to govern a nation of 95 million?

Noynoy need not

Indeed, Noynoy
