"I wonder what took them so long?"

From the Philippine Commentary:

The Supreme Court has finally handed down its decision on the Garci Recordings saying
it's okay to air them two years after they've been posted on the Internet and everyone already has!

I wonder what took them so long? What is moot and academic is the desire to suppress them because of the ignominy they bring to the President. The Supreme Court itself partook of that ignominy by this unconscionable delay Two years would seem to have been long enough for this fruit to ripen. Now it is just rotten.
