Mr. Al Mendoza:
What more adoration you can throw at Gov. Espino than your unabashed and uncontrolled enthusiasm? To start his administration with a fiasco, you don't seem to know what this person in Espino looks like.
What you know was the sharing of drinks with him - which I can conclude - once you're filled up with XO or a lowly Primero, you go blind not seeing anything. A journalist you are, who can be bought with a bottle of cheap liquor.
You don't know Espino. Because if you did know him, you would not be so incongruous in your exultations about a man who is as mysterious as Superman.
Spines. . . yea. . . Spine-less kind of a governor. And hit this on your head. Military men are not good politicians that's why government control is left to civilian authority.
Espino is also likened to Napoleon Bonaparte because of his short stature. People who claimed this comparison are so nonsensical who didn't have even tidbit of Napoleonic history.
If so, then Espino, this governorship is his Waterloo. His career from a colonel - not a general - to congressman, to governor. . .
Napoleon's Austerlitz and Wagram until Wellesley at Quatre Bras.
