Wanita UMNO chief Rafidah Aziz's 'verbal tirade' (to quote the SUN) can best be described as 'rantings' of an old-school madam with a severe 'attention-seeking' disorder after being unceremoniously-booted out of the cabinet. Iron Lady? On the contrary as I do not see anything 'iron-clad' or 'lady-like' about this individual whose chequered career remains blotted with the unresolved and poorly-explained AP issue. The term 'iron-lady' must definitely be a misnomer if it was meant to compare her with Britain's late Margaret Thacher whose tenure as Prime Minister has remained unblemished to this day.
Her 'nit-wit' statements describing the practice of the PM hurriedly handing power to the DPM as being unprecedented are laughable. So too was the unceremonious dumping of a senior woman Minister (no prices for guessing who that was) from the cabinet without warning or fanfare.
Spurred by today's cyber-technology, political-trends tend to change with such speed and awe that it has simply no place for 'dinosaur-mindsets' that refuse to go with the flow. Anything can happen. The ball, as they say in soccer, IS ROUND.
