Some snippets from the current UMNO General Assembly...


Sharizat wins!

Are these ladies happy or what! Rafidah Aziz, aka AP Queen, was defeated by a big margin (280 to 507). She's like Mahathir; we won't hear the last of her, but her leadership of Wanita UMNO may be over for good.


KJ wins!

I cheer this news simply because he is not in Najib's camp. Najib has been busy in recent weeks removing people on Abdullah Badawi's side from contesting in the general assembly, namely Norza and Ali Rustam, and casting the money politics shadow over Khairy. (Obviously, he was very aware of the Anwar-Badawi meeting where Badawi was rumored to have said there wasn't any other choice for PM except Najib, and that Badawi had his people in place to keep Najib in check.) So battle it out, Team Badawi and Team Najib! May you tear yourselves apart.

There was intense competition prior to voting (the always-ungentlemenly lot of UMNO Youth screaming "Khairy Rasuah!" among other things), but the notorious KJ won anyway. Really, it was a contest between some of the most unsavory politicians we have : Khir Toyo and Mukhriz Mahathir being the other two.


Hishamuddin cries

Enough with the dramatics already! Gawd, anyone would think Malay men are such wussies! The politicians, especially! Sikit-sikit menangis. Tak larat!


UMNO admits to being the puppet master

			'Umno silap bebaskan Anwar'

			Beberapa pemimpin utama Pakatan Rakyat - termasuk tokoh utamanya Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim - menjadi sasaran lepas geram pembahas dalam persidangan Pemuda Umno hari ini. Pembahas dari Pulau Pinang, Mohd Zaidi Mohd Said berkata, Umno melakukan kesilapan "kerana membebaskan Anwar" dari penjara. "Anwar ini boleh janjikan bulan dan bintang... Cukuplah sandiwara Anwar Ibrahim ini. "Kesilapan kita kerana membebaskan Anwar Ibrahim, inilah akibat yang kita tanggung hari ini," katanya ketika membahaskan usul, menyentuh isu-isu ketuanan Melayu dan Pakatan Rakyat. Tambahnya, Presiden Umno Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi berusaha bersungguh-sungguh menumbangkan Anwar dalam pilihanraya kecil Ogos lalu tetapi belum berjaya.

So it wasn't the courts who decided the case, eh? Surprise, surprise.
