PLUGGING FALEIRO'S FART

Rauf Abdul Beig is one of the finest salesmen in the Goan media today. Penpricks believes that his exceptional sales talent far surpasses his journalistic skills. We have arrived at this conclusion looking at the amount of plugs he has managed to sell in The Navhind Times.
A former Congressman at the Valpoi block, the Congress rise to power has proved to be a bounty time for him.
The story we reproduce is a sample from the Beig plug platter. One of the biggest clues which helps us arrive at the conclusion is the obvious amplification of Luizinho’s greatness, a hallmark from the House of Beigs. This story is so typical of the partnership between the two.
Take for example, this paragraph…

Speaking further, Mr Faleiro said that the Congress high command had expressed concern about the possible cross voting taking place in Andhra Pradesh, but his report dated July 9 and addressed to the AICC president, Ms Sonia Gandhi had come out with the observation that Ms Patil would get all the votes from the UPA supporting MPs and MLAs, in Andhra Pradesh.

And then this one right at the end...

Mr Faleiro informed that he has congratulated Ms Gandhi on the victory of the UPA candidate for the presidential election.

Doesn’t this reek of infatuation? Or maybe its just more than infatuation? Maybe its just a way to tackle inflation. Luizinho tells this guy on July 22, that a report he had sent to Sonia Gandhi on July 9 had predicted the outcome of the votes for the presidential poll in Andhra Pradesh. Isn’t that so cozy? Could we get a copy of that report please? And check out the last line informing us that Mr Faleiro congratulated Ms Gandhi on the victory... What what what... Did he... did he... Thanks for telling us mate... Hey you didn't mention if she thanked Luizinho Faleiro for congratulating her... Come on Mr Sinha... when you guys do decide to strip... shed that thong too... do the full Monty...
