The PM's hat-trick and its political implications

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva did a hat trick on the football field yesterday in a soccer battle with senators, prompting someone to post this message in his Twitter account: "If only he could be as good in running the government as kicking football..."

His critics of course never fail to find fault with him even when he managed to score three goals in a row. An observer said Abhisit scored well because his underlings in his team were all trying to kick the ball his way.

The premier didn't react to that but when asked how the football  game is like politics, the PM wasted no time in responding:

"They're the same. The players can be replaced any time..."

A Cabinet reshuffle in the cards?
