Following the ousting of Samak over his TV cookery, parliament today chose a new Prime Minister. Now given that the main gripe of the PAD protestors (still occupying Government House) is that the government was a puppet for Thaksin (currently hiding out in the UK to evade his corruption trial), you'd have thought they might take this opportunity to distance themselves from such allegations. So who have they chosen as PM? None other than Thaksin's brother-in-law. That'll certainly help to bring peace and reconcilliation to the country, eh?
