Another Coup?

Thailand's PM Samark extraordinaire has once again made some people shake their heads. Last Friday he told reporters that there were military officers plotting a coup against the current government. As one might expect, the media reported this story. The next day the PM then lashed out at reporters for attempting to keep his government from accomplishing things by reporting about another possible coup. So he criticized them for reporting what he told them.

The spokesman of his own party (the PPP) criticized PM Samark for attacking the media. The PM is truly a blessing for political commentators and pundits. Another coup or the dissolution of the current government would be tragic in the sense that we would lose the inexplicable antics of the current PM.
