Disgust for Etta, Maita

Remember those radicals who boycotted the elections? Those who called us wishy-washy, politically naive, and otherwise stupid?

As soon as Channel 4 fell into the hands of the Opposition, the likes of Etta Rosales and Maita Gomez fell all over themselves, grabbing the microphone and bleating their radical message over the airwaves. As if they had spearheaded "The Fourth Week of February"!

But my disgust with the credit-grabbing Etta, Maita, et al. was tempered by an even deeper sense of pity. How it must have galled their radical little hearts to say nice things about Juan Ponce Enfile and Fidel Ramos whom they have condemned as enemies of the people these past 20 years!
