Joker Arroyo asks public to "take a chance" on GMA administration

But Joker made this remark back in May 2004:

SENATOR JOKER Arroyo called on voters to take a chance on President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo despite persistent allegations of corruption against her, instead of betting the next six years on actor Fernando Poe Jr. whom he described as "just plain hopeless."

"Corruption can be contained or blocked and, if need be, a President can be impeached for that. On the other hand, there is no cure for a bumbling president who doesn't have the intellectual wherewithal for leadership," Arroyo said in a statement.

He said a president could not be impeached for stupidity. "There is no clear constitutional remedy for that situation. We just have to bear with him for six years."

So 2007 na ngayon, wala na si FPJ, and we now know with certainty na not only is the ARroyo admin corrupt (pidal, IMPSA, PHILHEALTH, Bolante), but ninakaw rin ng COMELEC at military ang nakaraang presidential elections para kay Arroyo. at wala pa rin sa mga corrupt officials na akusado sa pandaraya at corruption ang napaparusahan.

Joker said Arroyo can be removed via impeachment for corruption, but why isn't he asking for Arroyo's resignation or impeachment, and instead kumampi na naman ulit sa kanya? he did call for erap's resignation and headed the prosecution's impeachment team vs. the previous president, hindi ba?

but it seems that joker is asking us one more time "to take a chance" on the Arroyo government.

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

President George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

Getting rid of GMA via the impeachment process is the proper way. [The way it was done with ERAP -- a few thousand people from the metro-Manila area, plus a few hundred soldiers --- is the wrong way.]
The next set of congressmen (and senators) will provide the Filipino people with a way to end GMA's presidential term even before 2010.

He's really portraying his role as the palace jester. No one is laughing but the illegal occupant of the palace by the murky river.
