...Restive soldiers are not Arroyo's only problem. She faces a bloody insurgency in the south, a deteriorating currency and a looming presidential election campaign next spring. (She hasn't announced if she's running or not.) And then there's "Mike," First Gentleman Jos? Miguel Arroyo. He's been accused by Senator Panfilo Lacson?who has declared his intention to run for President?of siphoning off $5.6 million of Arroyo's campaign donations and having an affair with his female accountant to boot. Mike admitted last week that his daughter Luli was avoiding him because of the scandal...

The main witness against him in Senate hearings had been his godson and former messenger, Eugenio Mahusay, who testified that he was frequently sent to the bank to deposit and withdraw large sums from an account the First Gentleman controlled under an alias.

Benjamin Disraeli, on the receiving end of an anti-Semitic slur in the British Parliament, had this to say: "Yes, I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the Right Honorable Gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were priests in the Temple of Solomon." Thank God, anti-Semitic attacks are no longer acceptable discourse in Europe. When we really want to clobber someone, we call him a Nazi or compare him to Hitler. But that doesn't play...
