LUNCHTIME WITH THE DONALD…

May 26, 2011 Bill Cotton/Reform, Features / Columnists

Bill likes Donald Ramotar. Think he is fundamentally a good man fallen amongst politicians-to misquote Lenin. He had to join the great and good, some of the Cabinet, some of the kitchen cabinet (Eddie, Bobby, Brian, etc), what looked like a triad of Chinese to hear He speak at the Peg-a-Suss. What a marathon.
Two hours from beginning to End. Do we really need a CV read out and the President of the GMA for twenty minutes? Get a grip GMA!!
On the serious side, some laudable and laughable comparisons were made between Guyana and Singapore, India and China Leave it out! The Donald did not really break new policy ground. Will he ever? Two young Cabinet Ministers were reduced to mutual tittering and twittering as were some of the hacks-including the Chairman hack at the media table.
Bill discovered what they use the Crackberries for flirting with each other across the table! Stop it Rada! Bill will leave the serious political analysis to the heavyweight– Mossley was there. He will instead deconstruct the language. Semiotics for starters.
Donald himself made a pretty good job of the linguistic ball and chain. Some questions dear readers.
What is a runAway from which planes take off? What is SoyAH they grow in Brazil in every NUKE and cranny? How are people going to use their one LOptop per family? What is a deTerant to crime? Does it clean toilets too?
Bill had to keep pinching himself to keep awake-Rada helped! Not pinching— you understand?
Some of the Guyhacks seemed too to have problems waking up. The event started at 12.00. One hackette arrived at 12.56 and one cameraman at 1.26.You can set your watch by the tardiness of the Guypress corps. Makes you wonder why they live on GMT and not real time. Does it not?
Still, the fish meal was nice. Why no soup on the menu? The company of hacks not too bad. The boys and girls at the big tables were hardly a laugh a minute. Bill chose right.
So a feast of fish and Spoonerisms but Bill leave the last words to the Donald. I am excited. Tight management  And predictable. Can you say more
Pip!Pip!
With small thanks to a retired satirist WW who was there!
