Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Hubby and I have never gone to a rosary or brunch or lunch or dinner without bumping into people who bring up the subject of the AG. For every one person that has anything kind to say about the man, there are 8 that have nothing but hateful things to say about him. It's almost as if they were talking about Hitler or Stalin or some other evil being that they want to crush. I've never seen anything like this and wonder late into the night why these people have such feelings about the man. People hate him because he washes four cars every day, because he supposedly lets his mother do his decorating in both his office and in his home and on and on and on. I must be nuts because I think it's pretty nice that his mother is around and is healthy enough to do this for him, maybe this is a way she shows him she cares, certainly it's no big deal. I remember a senator who had a fresh rose on his desk each day sent to him from his wife. This was a way she said 'I love you' to him....what is the difference between this woman and the mother? Washing four cars perhaps allows the man the same exercize as going to a fitness center....who cares?
The problem is that people aren't bothered by letting their hatred surface in public. They call talk shows and rant and rave about the man. They make fun of him and if he's really that rotten(Doug), then the very people saying so, have stooped to his level. It's really ugly what we've become, uglier even, the example we're setting for our children. But that's not what this opinion is about....more, it's about our stupidity over the Pedro's Plaza Building that we could have, should have purchased.....didn't purchase.
I listened to Ray Tenorio when he was on somebody's show on K57 last week and he meekly(he's been meek ever since he and Mark Forbes got caught talking *hit about their fellow senators on an open mike some months back)-too bad you can't unspeak words, huh?) said that it takes time to check how sturdy that 'old' building was, etc....it was a flat out excuse which meant in English, 'we're not going to buy it, Doug, don't raise your hopes'. He said some other things that were garbled or muffled that also led one to believe that the deal was dead in the water...or dead period.....blaming the building not being stable, or sturdy, or something. Well, some entity's going to buy the building and is going to keep the AG paying that neat little price of $54K+ per month in the shabby non-sturdy 9 floor building for however long we need an office and guess who's going to lose? You-n-me...........and why? Because there are a few Doug haters in the legislature that will do anything than agree with what he has to say........if there was a typhoon coming and Dough declared it condition 1.....the legislature would go surfing, that's just how smart they are when it comes to Doug Moylan and what he has to say...
It's really sad that we aren't going to get that building, three million dollars is a steal for such a building, we'll never again get such a bargain. In a matter of six or so years, the AG could have paid for the building. And there was really no guarantee that the AG was going to be Doug since he has to campaign to be re-elected, juat as the dummies in the legislature have to be. Thankfully, most of them won't be!
Don't be disappointed about the building, Doug, you didn't lose, the people of Guam did....Big Time!
