Miriam to run for president

Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago says that she’ll run for president if she does’nt land a post at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). She was quoted during a lull in the presidential entourage in Washington DC.

“I’ll just put fear in the hearts of my enemies, if I decide to run as president,” says the feisy former QC judge who was elected under a platform of good governance and an anti-corruption stance.

Are you threatening us? Surely, the ICJ is not as masochistic as some of us Filipinos. If we can tolerate characters such as you because we simply don’t have a choice, then, it’s different with other countries.

Well, Miriam, it will not be your enemies who’ll be afraid of your candidacy. It is the whole goddamned country whom you have been terrorizing since you became a legislator.

Yes, Miriam, like Gloria, you’re living in your own fantasy world (Gloria’s world is her version of Enchanted Kingdom). You’re the Snow Queen who thinks everybody have pea brains and you’re the only genius.

The very idea of Miriam running for president makes one seek refuge, even in loony bins. If Miriam do become president, inside Mandaluyong seems more live-able than outside its walls.

If Miriam becomes president, the AFP should get ready. They should quickly modernize their stuff because chances are, we’ll find ourselves going to war with China. Or Russia. Or Malaysia. Or even Singapore.

And if indeed the good senator becomes president, let us free those living in asylums. That way, Miriam can definitely say, I’m the Snow Queen of Enchanted Kingdom.
