An Even Louder Cock?

Something is stirring in the mind of Gebran Tueni.

“Perhaps the most illuminating rejection of Assad’s intransigence has come from Gebran Tueni, one of the leaders of the March 14 anti-Syrian revolt touched off by Hariri’s assassination, who labeled Assad’s speech as an outright declaration of war against the new Lebanon.”

This was how Naharnet, until recently the most widely read Lebanese news website, described its owner’s political grandstanding.

Rumors are swirling around Mr. Tueni’s intention to form a new political party for “March 14’s youth”. Signs are everywhere that he’s preparing the grounds for such a move: From his March 14 speech that sounded like a manifesto, to his daily let’s-be-one-big-Moslem-and-Christian-family rhetoric.
His own Annhar’s Mulhak al Shabab discussed something of the sort a few weeks ago, and his personal website lives on long after the elections are over, as a separate entity where MP Tueni regularly explains his vision.

So who will take care of Annahar once Mr. Tueni gets too busy building a party?
Naharnet, as usual, gave us a not-so-subtle clue: Neyla Tueni, Gebran’s young and attractive daughter, is apparently “the first in-line to An Nahar’s throne”
