Gutter talk in the august senate.

you said it right, eileenleyva. people of high stature, senators, stoop so low, insulting their exalted positions, which, in the first place, is not their, only the mandate, the mandate we have given them. their acts are a direct affront of the trust we have given them, as voters. and to think that they call themselves "your honor," something they hardly deserve at all, with the way they are acting inside the august halls. you can have a better feel reading if you visit me at http://pinoygnews.multiply.com/... back to what i was writing about... ah, just look at what people do for money. they are as crook as the cop fleecing drivers on the street, because some did that for the money. well, of course, that's another topic for discussion.

I think you are right about your observation. What is happening in the Senate is not legislation at all but all of showmanship of whos who in the senate. To make their names float in the campaign and make way for them to be known to the public. It seems they are not that keen in their primary roles anymore right now as everybody is reeling towards campaigning for themselves to hold on to their position comes May 2010.

It was really kind of pathetic the ways senators discuss matters. Just imagine a seasoned senator making a comment, disgusting as it is over the word insertion. To think that he has been a senator for years and years and yet he should have acted with dignity and not let anger rule over him. I just hope that since we have a few more remaining months before elections, that they will use the senate floor to a more worthy cause the will benefit more people instead of lambasting each other.

I think these politician should all audition for Pinoy Big Brother. I'm sure it's going to be a very exciting episode. Just imagine a bunch of politicians trying to out do each other. That's where they should be, in showbiz and not in the halls of senate.

You're right, its really fun watching them on TV, they are like little children. They think they can fool the Filipino people. There are Filipinos who are more intelligent than them who knows the truth from lies. We can also blame our fellow Filipinos who voted for these actors and actresses to the senate and other government positions. I just hope they learn their lessons already and not vote them again.

I have seen that. I was really not expecting that from him since he I treated him as a highly respected senator. But when he threw that comment to Sen. Roxas, it shattered all my expectations of him. It was really inappropriate, out of the topic and disrespectful to a colleague and especially to all women in the world. Even though Sen. Pimentel apologized yesterday, it is enough because it was stated in a prayer and was very generalized. He also claims he did not do anything wrong and he said the word "insertion" without malice. What has been done is done. He can't change the fact that he did it.
