The Manicou Report

I honestly did try to blog about something different today because I wanted to get off the Winston Dookeran issue. I’ve blogged on this Dookeran/Kamla issue quite a few times,

not because there isn’t anything else going on in the country, but there are just so many fantastic idiots in the UNC Executive doing fantastically idiotic things I just can’t not touch. It’s an itch I have to scratch.

Last night Dookeran was booted from the party by a no-confidence motion executed by the UNC cabal. I’m still amazed at the quality of the stupidity of that group and the level of the stupidity they must feel that that the people of Trinidad & Tobago share with them.

How can the UNC Execs treat Mr. Dookeran like garbage when he has so many followers andso many supporters? What exactly are they thinking over there in Kamlaland? I know that they will live to regret it. And in 2007 they’ll sit around looking glum wondering what happened. If I were in the PNM I’d be celebrating right now. Half my job for ’07 has been done for me. There’s not a shred of credibility left to attack me now. The goal is wide open. Why not call a general election right now?

Anywhere that Mr. Dookeran goes, he will have my support. I wish though he wouldn’t fight in court simply because they are not worth the effort.

Sorry to say it, but Power 102’s Anil Roberts has it all wrong. Up till yesterday Anil has been advocating the removal of Mr. Dookeran in favour of giving Mr. Ramesh Lawrence the helm. Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj?

Honestly? You really want to let that snake back into the door? The guy single-handedly-toppled the UNC out of Government had a verbal brawl with Mr. Panday and soon enough, they are all chummy-chummy again. No explanation given as to why all the differences they’ve had has disappeared like Scarborough Hospital money. None is needed. Because we’re all idiots. Of course at that point, he lost all chance of me ever having any respect for him and his crooked mouth. And yes, that crooked mouth. I’m not sure how much it bothers anyone else, but I’m wary of it. There are three kinds of people I will never trust: surgeons with shaky hands, salesmen with twitchy eyes and politicians with crooked mouths..

Mr. Roberts, it’s not that in the UNC they have freedom to disagree. But when they do disagree openly they get fired. See: Robin Montano, Manohar Ramsaran, Winston Dookeran, and many others.

Anil says that it’s because Mr. Maharaj disagrees with the idea of the ALCOA smelter. Fine, I hate the smelter too. But after we sell our souls to the lowest bidder (Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj), then what? We are stuck with him, that’s what. We do have other issues in Trinidad besides the smelter. What’s going to happen to us after the smelter is gone? Do I really want to make Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj in charge of my life? Not Likely.

Exactly how cheap are our votes here? Anyway I just have to say that the UNC has lost big today and the only thing they get right is to make the worthless PNM party look like a viable option.

*By the way if you’ve never caught the program “Breaking Barriers” on the IBN channel 8 with Mr. Inshan Ishmael, you should try to. It comes on at 8pm every Wednesday and is a breath of fresh air. Gosh, I wish there were more people like him in our country and in Government. He represents what I hope other people in Trinidad to be like.
