Much has been made of the notion that Thaksin is using Samak as a stooge to rule from exile (Awaiting word from real man in charge, Bangkok Post, February 4, 2008) and yet when the dust settles one may find that it was Samak who used Thaksin to get elected. Samak is nobody's stooge. Those who think that they have a puppet by the strings may find instead that they have a tiger by the tail.
