Robert Holley and Politics

I was looking at his resume on the blog "Kalbijin" owned by another expat who speaks fluent Korean. "Mith" is the blog owners nickname, and he seems to be well disposed to-wards Holley. Anyway Robert Holley has created a political Party. Right now his party is just a name, and not active. If he ever tried to get it moving he would be dearly savaged by the Korean media, and if it did against all the odds get off the ground, it would probably go down as the most corrupt party ever, in the History of Korean politics. A humourous and approximate interpretation of politics is many (poly) blood sucking animals (tics) and I'd say it would adequately describe the machinery of any party of Robert Holley.
Korean politics are personality politics. Candidates don't campaign on the basis of a platform of reforms. They shake as many of their constituents hands as possible and promise them the earth . Holley would probably offer many private schools with high tuition to his constituents , but secretly pocket most of the proceeds. He might also promise to import foreign cars for everyone, but overcharge for them when they arrived. I wouldn't be surprised if he were also to offer many buisness opportunities with very minimal wages to people to build mansions for him and his family.
Roh Tae Woo with his brains in his bum gave his daughter millions of dollars in a huge duffle bag to deposit in Bank accounts in the U.S. There were photographs of one of his aids giving her the bag after the Korean presidential party cleared VIP customs on one of it's official tours. The law caught up with her though, because you just can't open multitudinous accounts in the U.S. and deposit more than $10,000 a shot. Mrs Holley wouldn't know that of course, and would merely do the same thing, and get her name plastered all over the world. The expats in Korea would roll their eyes in their heads again saying. "Oh gee we got another another Korean dingbat".

Good to see that Holley finally paid his dues to the West Virginia bar. Probably shed bitter tears at the expense.

Can't find his name in the American Bar Association. Either he updates his membership or if he isn't a member then he better get it the hell off his resume.
