Credit Run Out

US President William "Bill" Clinton in dealing with the Monica Lewinsky Affair stared right into the TV cameras, maintained eye contact and adopted the seriousness of a judge and said:
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
We are yet to see any evidence of anyone who was willing to admit, either privately or publicly, that they had believed that statement.
Jamaica is never far behind. We have our own President (of the Employer's Federation), another W.C. making this statement concerning the Chen Affair:
"I did not ask for an intervention and have no information that suggests that the Jamaican government has done so."
We have not done a survey to assess the extent of the credibility of this statement. However, some nagging questions refuse to go away.
- How were the details of Chen's visa revocation and subsequent actions by him and others on his behalf "leaked" to the media?
- Who was that impostor on TV giving "information" but not "seeking intervention"?
- If one makes a call to the fire department informing them of a raging fire, is that not also seeking an intervention?
Latest media reports are that Chen is still waiting for an official reply to this re-application for a US visa.
Then we have no less a person than the PM of Jamaica, the Hon.Bruce Golding M.P. in stark and irreconcilable conflict with the prestigious US law firm, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips in respect of representation made to the US State Department and Justice Department.
There is a disconnect; dem credit run out.
Clovis' cartoon in the Jamaica Observer speaks volumes.
