THE ARMCHAIR ANALYSTS may be saying that Wednesday’s musical chairs were more about style than substance, but for two of those involved in the seemingly slight adjustments, the moves have been devastating.
One person that some call Skin Teet got the rug pulled from under him and must now know that all the spin in the world about what a great job he has been doing can’t change the fact that he is not seen as a pal.
In fact, whom the captain regards as his inner circle is now crystal clear, even if some say that a jester and a pit bull as confidants are a weird combination.
From what Cou Cou was told, all hell broke loose when Skin Teet was informed that he no longer had the power to decide who got what done and to what degree in the town and country. Our fly on the wall said that all he could do was stutter in amazement.
You see, Skin Teet and his bosom buddy, whom some refer to as Gorilla, seem to be among those who suggest that the ship is sinking under the captain as he doesn’t subscribe to the flash and glitz to dazzle and impress, even though little is achieved.
As the two never saw this change coming they are wondering how they will be able to continue to shore up their houses to protect themselves for the next time the bell rings.
A drowning man?
SOME PEOPLE are just good-looking; some are born lucky; while a few are born smart. The three of these traits are a winning combination, for sure.
But what would you say about someone who, based on their performance, seems just to succeed on the first two?
That is the question operatives from both sides of the divide are asking about a certain politico. Like a cat in deep water, this person continues to thrash around and paddle and avoid drowning, though those around them in the know say that it is clear this person can’t swim.
How long this cat will be allowed to splash around helplessly from one part of the pool to the next is just anyone’s guess. All everyone is saying is that this person really has a good friend in high places.
Getting a leg-up
ONCE UPON a time there was a man who came to town after holding some lashes in his rural birthplace. He put in some work but, as there was a change in tide, he was swept into a position still reserved for a few.
In a short time events unfolded and, to his great fortune, he landed in a prime spot and is now the voice that matters.
But this man never fully grasped how dire are the circumstances of quite a few people who helped him to get to where he is. In fact, he said so. That is why he has put his hand on the instrument that can give them a leg-up – and help himself to enjoy his privileges too.
Just looking on
AN OLD GENERAL hit by a mishap may only be able to look and admire but not touch anything he desires.
Cou Cou understands the veteran politico is in such discomfort that he cannot back up his talk of delivering hardwood anymore because of the incident.
Believe it or not, but we have been told that this top man cannot rule the roost – so to speak – for a little while as his wounded body needs time to heal before he can start arousing the passions in people.
People are wondering if this is a case of Father Time talking to him.
And if that is the case, one wonders if he will ever have the testicular fortitude to show who he thinks should come after him.
