Thailand's fugitive former prime minister tweets on the run

globalpost.com — Since fleeing Thailand last year, the self-exiled, billionaire ex-premier has zig-zagged the globe while stirring anti-establishment supporters from afar. He has incessantly needled the ruling party through in-country proxies, sarcastic Tweet messages and Skype video calls, broadcast at political pep rallies that sometimes turn violent.

    He's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
    He'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
    Tell me where in the world is Thaksin Shinawatra?
  • burrdugg, on 11/03/2009, -0/+9I don't know who Thaksin is, or for what reason he is exiling. I'm only here for the free sandwiches.

  • edpowers, on 11/03/2009, -3/+6Thaksin has been really a pain in the ass to Thailand.. part of our social unrest and the sluggishness in our economy is cause by him. Although, the 'system' will need to changed and evolve...but he is NOT the man to do so.. the corrupt businessman/politician with hidden agenda..... he has sold out his country for the last few years and now even sending one of his puppets to 'announce' the policy to 'separate' the southern part of thailand..... all in the action of getting his 'corrupted' money back.. what a sorry ass SOB

  • emjaymj, on 11/03/2009, -0/+2WTH where are they? Did I get here too late?
  • FauOz, on 11/03/2009, -4/+5He Thaksin Shinawarta is very very ambitious and ruthless man. Greed is is worship. He has sold out the people of Thailand for his own wealth. Soon he will know what happened to to other historical figures of his kind as Roman history talks of over ambitious Caesars.
    So the much honored humble King of Thailand grows old and the rats start to scurry out of their holes. Who will stand for the humble honest people ?
    Yellow is the color of the patriots of honor.
