Remonde's Booby Blooper

So the President was secretly hospitalized on account of a silicone implant leak. Press Secretary Remonde’s reported reaction at an ambush interview to the news leak (oops) was to bristle with indignation at what to him was intimation that the President is shallow: “Si Presidente ba mukha na iyong tipo ng babae na magpapaganun (Is the President the type of woman who would do that [breast augmentation])?” As if that wasn’t stupid enough, he reportedly stated, “Kayong mga lalake, alam niyo naman tingnan kung ang babae nagpa-retoke. Res ipsa loquitur [literally, the thing speaks for itself].” Other reports quote Remonde as saying, “Just look if the President had a breast implant. That’s a private matter. It’s obvious if women have had breast implants. The sexy actresses with (unbelievable) boobs, they’re the ones who underwent breast implants. We can’t say the same thing of the President.” Oops.

Remonde is in trouble on many different levels. For one, has he already told the President, now that the truth about her breast augmentation is out, what “type of woman" he thinks she is? Has he explained to her why he feels he can speak in such a slapdash manner to the public on what he perceives to be the President's physical flaws? (Or, for that matter, why he is entitled to express any opinion on her breasts or her sexiness at all?) Has he explained to her why he even looks at her breasts and why he feels entitled to size them up, literally, against the boobs of “sexy" actresses? And has he been able to justify to her why it’s part of his job, as Press Secretary, to direct the nation to likewise look at the President’s breasts so we can all satisfy ourselves that they’re real?

Did I mention this clown’s the Press Secretary?
