Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Sometimes being ignored hurts the most. When babies are born and they are ignored, they fail to thrive. But this isn't a lesson on babies being loved and thriving. More, it's a lesson on having respect for one's wishes. Last week, Madeline Z. Bordallo, the island's Congressional Delegate issued a press release stating that she was not endorsing any candidate until after the primary.
She issued this after a long campaign ad had her endorcing the campaign of BJ Cruz in his run for Lt.Gov with Gutierrez.
Although she's extremely close to BJ Cruz, she's also extremely close to the Bordallo family because she was married to Ricardo J. Bordallo, the brother of Fred Bordallo, the husband of Annie Underwood Bordallo, Robert Underwood's sister. She's in between the devil and the deep blue sea as some would say.........yet tonight.....on KUAM....they played the ad.....auntie Maddy, endorsing the golden haired BJ Cruz......against her wishes......wishes be damned, who the hell is she to decide what we can run or not run, it's our campaign, not hers!
And so it goes......all's fair in love, war and campaigns.......I guess!
The question to ask here is if BJ asked that the ad be pulled...or not played....and....if it was played anyway......if his wishes meant anything......oh heck, there'd be an excuse for that as well and I bet it would be blamed on KUAM.......around here, we seem to always be able to find someone to blame..........
Happy trails to you, who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Bet Annie and Fred and family do!!!
