Trinbagonian
politicians have a proud record of disgracing themselves. Whether it’s through
acts of corruption, incompetence or possessing Faris Al-Rawi’s
fashion sense. But the bar surely dropped to a new low last week when, on his
return from Chile, Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley called for the Secretary
General of the Organisation of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro to resign.
Mr.
Almargo had evidently upset Dr. Rowley’s favorite dance partner, Venezuelan
President Nicolaus Maduro. His great insult was expressing concern over the
violent civil unrest, and crackdown on political dissent taking place in
Venezuela. An act Dr. Rowley blasted as “derogatory”. Because in Maduro’s
Venezuela the word ‘democracy’ now means “your mudder @#$.”
