Opinion: NASA a coalition of one alpha male and three flower girls

The bearded sisters of NASA have allowed the ‘exotic dance’ for a flag bearer to drag out for so long that it is no longer politically arousing.

Instead of building up to a shattering climax, the teasing has now become irritating, the tempo is too slow and there are still too many layers to be shed. But the worst part is this: it is rather obvious that what is underneath the bulky and shapeless dressed-up negotiations is not the exciting ‘surprise’ this extended disrobing will reveal. The surprise is Raila, and Raila is the surprise. End of strip-tease.
