If acting stupid in public could really get the majority of the powers in the PNM irked, half of their ministers wouldn't be there. My guess is Achong did something else; perhaps he asked for something that they wouldn't give? maybe it was really the thing with his 'main squeeze' as jumbie said. being an ass is almost a requirement for being in political office in this country.

He was so sure he was untouchable. It is quite refreshing to see that he's got his comeuppance. And yes, while it is true that a stray dog will pull the PNM vote in the right constituency, Achong is the major casualty in all of this. His reputation is shot. You just wonder if he's aware of this or even cares. I think Achong epitomized the arrogance of the PNM. He was so sure he was untouchable.

I always found Achong was a total ass, but my hands were tied. I agree 100%, Manicou. I always found Achong was a total ass, but my hands were tied.

Fact is, the cussing was against the moral code of the step-father of the nation so he had to give Larry the boot. Although I am wondering about the link between Achong and his main squeeze and the one-upmanship she put over Pa-trick when he tried to relocate her to Point.

I have a feeling that come full circle and Achong paying the price because maybe he really sleeping with the ‘devil’ instead of merely saying so.
