You wrote voluminously, and one sidedly for months during that campaign then disappeared from the press until now. As soon as the Fitial administration got in you wrangled a do-nothing consultants gig out of them at 4 thousand bucks a month but disappeared pretty quickly when your no-deliverables-required contract was exposed. Now you rear your ugly head (that’s metaphorically ugly, not literally — since I have lead you through this) again and begin an onslaught of advice that we are supposed to believe wells up from your heart. Yeah sure.
Playing your race card doesn’t cut it with me, Camacho. Try convincing me that you really have some stake, any stake, other than your paycheck, in the welfare of the Northern Marianas. Did you ever bother to visit us when you lived 120 miles away in Guam? No. The only time you have ever set foot here was on a freebie luxury flight paid for by the Fitial administration two years ago. Let’s face it, your “caring” goes just as deep as your next paycheck.
Your attempt to get a job by accosting the previous Babauta administration at a trade show in California was rebuffed so you jumped ship and wrote for the opposition. When the wind blows the next time, which side will you come down on? May I suggest it will be Your side once again.
By the way, your rambling, buffoonery filled, flowery writing style does not lend itself well to criticizing the style of others, including mine. You are as good a writing critic as you are a political analyst…that is to say, poor. Book length letters only show you can’t be concise, not that you are erudite.
One last item. I’m sorry to have to explain it to you but apparently you are a bit slow on the uptake so here goes: The reference to “wet backs” in my column was a pun on you having to swim out here this time as you may not have another political sponsor to pay your airfare as yet. Your attempt to turn it into a racial slur is off target, as usual.
So let’s hear it from the sheep’s mouth; Whose payroll are you on this time? (Just so you don’t weasel or Baaaa — Or whose payroll are you trying to get on to this time?).
