Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader and Uttar Pradesh Governor Mayawati, erupting in one of her characteristic bursts of anger today, proclaiming WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange “insane” for daring to release State Department cables critical of her.
Mayawati was mentioned in several of the cables, mostly over the political implications of her caste-based party and her pledges to openly discriminate against other castes once elected. After her election the cables shift to internal political struggles, but also detail her notorious corruption.
The one that seems to have really angered her however was 08NEWDELHI2783 entitled “Mayawati: Portrait of a Lady” which noted that since her election Uttar Pradesh had stabilized “only in that Mayawati has centralized corruption in her own hands.”
Terming her a “virtual paranoid dictator,” the cable is mostly explanatory rather than aimed at revealing corruption that wasn’t already public knowledge. It did reveal some rather silly incidents which never made into the mainstream Indian press, including her demand that a State Minister who visited her unannounced do sit-ups in front of her as “penance” and her decision, when she needed new sandals, to send a private jet to Mumbai to get her favorite brand.
While these are certainly interesting Mayawati wasn’t exactly thought to be a spendthrift, ordering massive statues of herself built around the impoverished state, and the corruption within her administration was already the stuff of legends.
Still, Mayawati demanded that Assange be turned over to Uttar Pradesh officials where he would be placed in one of the state-run insane asylums. Though no one seriously expects this to happen it might raise the question of exactly how many of her local critics have already found themselves locked up in this manner.
spendthrift: n.
One who spends money recklessly or wastefully.
adj.
Wasteful or extravagant: spendthrift bureaucrats.
I think "spendthrift" would describe precisely what she is known to be, Jason, so perhaps you meant "thrifty" and just needed to consult your dictionary? Otherwise, I don't get your meaning.
Proof the "feminist" theory that if only we were led by women everything would be good, is b.s.!
Gentlemen, as any psychiatrist will tell you she is only trying to “self-actualize,” to “Be All You Can Be.” As this is the highest of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs that we must all seek to fulfill or suffer some kind of mental deficiency.
You see, Abraham Maslow wanted to get rich helping the capitalist rich get rid of a guilty conscience burdened with the crime of greed, which is to earn all you can earn, take all you can take, own all you can own and be a dictator over all who are on land that you own.
For a conscience is the thing that tells us what we deserve, and as it is our high watermark in life to achieve, it controls every aspect of our mind, character and personality.
Untouchables. The beggar mounted rides his/her horse to death.
This retard actually runs a country.
