Philippines’ President Calls U.S. Envoy “Gay Son Of A Whore,” Should Think About Laying Low For A While

Philippines’ president Rodrigo Duterte just threw out a very interesting slur at the U.S. envoy.

FromThe Guardian:

“As you know, I’m fighting with (US Secretary of State John Kerry’s) ambassador. His gay ambassador, the son of a whore. He pissed me off,” Duterte said.

Duterte, 71, surged to power with a landslide in May following an incendiary campaign in which he gleefully used foul language to disrespect authority figures, from his local political rivals to the pope.

Let’s expand on the background of Duterte a little bit. This is a guy who has essentially authorized the mass murder of tens of thousands of his own citizens, and doesn’t seem to have any regard for how insane some of his statements and comments have been. He used the exact same “son of a whore” insult on the frickin’ Pope, of all people, and makes me wonder if he’s done enough to earn an honorary “Kim Jong-” in front of his name.

Regardless of how much of a nut this guy is, he can’t go around calling U.S. government workers by awful slurs like that. That is reserved for lowlife Americans like you and me that pay taxes and eat apple pie. I think it’s high time Duterte is added to the shit list of the American public consciousness, right up there with the Putins and Kim Jongs of the world.

    I feel like being the president of the Philippines is like being the president of a bottom tier fraternity; yeah you’re a president, but not really
