I feel safer now with 6 new police spokesmen.

So, 6 different versions of the same story, instead of the previous policy of 25 versions! A vast improvement.

Let’s wait and see if they can put a coherent sentence together before congratulating them.

No reason needs to be given for the new appointments as we can guess.

All The President's Men, from both points of view.

It will take 6 of them just to clean up the last month of mess left by Somyot. Whatever happened to that "Aod" fellow who masterminded the last 3 bombings in Bangkok?

First, spray it with accraglass with a brown dye. Alow to dry and finely sand before buffing with your favourite buffing compund. What that? It's how to polish a turd.

Do you anyone would buy a used car from someone who looks like that?

Why is Panya Mamen in this photograph?

Will they suffer the same 'foot in mouth' disease as the others?

If the general were not so phobic regarding journalists I think in this field he could have found someone who understands the job.

Let me guess the appointment as Spokesperson must be 350,000 Baht and for the Deputy it will be 200,000 Baht each.

No reason needs to be given for the new appointments as we can guess.

All The President's Men, from both points of view.

I am sure they are all receiving intensive training in modern international PR techniques as we wait for their debut.

(except the one who is only a Lt Col not a Lt Gen, because he is inferior and therefore not worthy.)

A spokesperson should be:

• Personable and well-groomed;
  
• Out-going, enthusiastic and confident;
  
• Dynamic and an articulate speaker;
  
• Aware of attitudes, biases, knowledge and level of sophistication of the audience to be addressed;
  
• A good listener, willing to respond openly and sensitively to questions and concerns of media and/or audience;
  
• Able to project a strong, positive image;
  
• Well informed on topic to be presented;
  
• Professional and business-like in demeanor;
  
• Calm and relaxed, especially in hostile or confrontational circumstances;
  
• Able to think quickly on the spot.
  

Merely wearing a be-medalled uniform is not enough in a free society.

Yeah

They need it... Unfortunately I was unavailable and my Thai lacks

But my shot talking skills are pretty good

maybe that's the reason:

notice the former spokesman directly under the "U"

You were right on the mark, until you got to your very final words... That's where you fell off the cliff.

They have to replace the spokesmen from time to time. The effort of trying to keep a straight face whilst spouting bullsh*t to the media every day causes enormous stress.

I wonder if this new group will be any better at saying, "No comment" about ongoing investigations. My guess is "NOT".
