Tito Sotto's hallucinations against blogging

When Tito Sotto's name was dragged into that rape case several years ago, together with his buddy Joey de Leon and brother, Vic, he was severely chastised before the media. Back then, what was hurtful were backroom hush-hush and bar room chatter. How can you possibly fight that?

Back then, the trio was reportedly drugged out of their brains before they reportedly raped a struggling starlet (name was Pepsi Palomar? She killed herself months after that alleged rape incident). Nothing came out of that one. Fact was the people back then thought that it was a cruel joke. How can three bungling comedians at the height of their careers do such a stupid thing?

A source from Pepsi Paloma's handler, the great councilor of Pasay, revealed that the rape did, indeed happen. It was just swept under the rug, according to this source. For me, no rape since any elements of the crime was present. 

When Tito Sotto's name was again dragged into that messy drug scandal involving a policeman cum drug lord cum vice lord, he was again pilloried and his reputation smashed. Imagine the guy who ran and won under an anti-drug platform was now accused of cuddling drug lords himself. Believe it or not, Tito Sotto's name was so torn into different pieces, it caused him an election and eventually, the possibility of running for the vice presidency. Back then, he was one of the strongest contenders for the post. 

Tito Sotto lost his chance of being a vice presidential contender because of this. There were two scandals, with one obvious theme---drugs.

Years past and the vestiges of these unfortunate incidents were swept under the rug, so to speak.

Now, think about what would have happened if the Internet already existed back then in the middle eighties?

Tito Sotto would have used his resources and expressed himself and defended himself via Twitter, Facebook and Blog. 

It would have reached millions of Filipinos back then. 

Sotto would have denied that there was such a rape that happened, that it was consensual and it was all “for fun.”

The public would have understood and all nasty talk would have ceased by then. Sotto would have salvaged his reputation, ran and probably would have won the vice presidency.

On the druggie protector case, it would have been extremely fast sending out Tito Sotto’s defenses via email, text blasts and social media updates. It would have been fast. And public would have forgiven him.

Now, this third booboo that he committed is not as serious as rape or being accused of coddling drug lords, no.

This is all about integrity. This is all about honesty. This is all about character.

A great man would have bowed his head in utmost humility and admit that he erred.

A man made of lesser stuff will do ala-Sotto—defend stupidity until the end.

What is so wrong with admitting that you copied something from other people’s minds and pretend that it was yours?

Yes, it’s intellectual dishonesty and yes, it is a sign of utter stupidity but, what the hell? How can a overperforming Senate Majority Leader know everything there is to know about the world? Majority leaders are not expected to be nerds or dweebs. No. They are expected to know when to call for a recess or when it is time to end the session. That is all there is to it.

Again, a man made of lesser stuff would defend his stance ad infinitum just to protect his "balls" from the frying pan.

Is Sotto making us laugh, suggesting that he's better than all the rest of us> J
