A little late with jumping on this, but you see, I hardly read the papers anymore and I usually don't care much for politics and politicians. But I do do some sort of reading, like dropping by some brown glob every now and then to see wazappenee...

He may be semi-retired or whatever but he's never gonna let some young punk take a swipe at him without reply. Actually, it seems to end up more like a little spanking.

Come on, lah.... the guy got how many years experience....? Up against MM and his superhigh forehead...how to win?
