Eni and the dictator

In a post headlines "Coup Supporter Eni Faleomaega Way off the Mark AGAIN," well respected Fijian blogger Sai Lealea systematically picks apart Faleomavaega's lengthy rebuttal to former Fiji Times Editor Russell Hunter's criticism of Faleomavaega's support for the Bainimarama regime. THe blog contains a photo of the smiling congressman and the dictator arm in arm in Suva. Faleomavaega boasts that he has made four trips to Fiji this year so far, which probably exceeds the number of trips he has made to American Samoa. You can read Eni's full response to Hunter's commentary, which was published in the Samoa observer, here: http://wwwfijicoup2006.blogspot.com/2010/09/coup-supporter-eni-faleomaega-way-off.html

The man is so arrogantly confident of his re-election that he did not even bother to announce he was running again this year. He simply filed his papers.
