I wonder what would happen if Presidente Fox of Mexico openly called * a

"pollo mierda" or a "chicken shit" or "chicken crap" in Spanish.

1. What did Fox say that pissed off so many people?

You know how the news is... But I did read a thread earlier mentioning Fox.

6. Thanks, Bb. Errr, I don't know what to

think or say about that. Ideally, I want anyone who wants to come to the US to be allowed to, with stipulations after 9/11 (I'm compelled to say that). I always hearken back to what's written on the Statue of Liberty:

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

3. He made some comment about illegal Mexican immigrants and jobs

eom


I still wonder what people in the States would say if he called * a "pollo mierda," or if Jacques Chirac called him a "poulet merde"

4. His popularity would double from 10 to 20%.

Of course, he's not going to do that. He knows who his sugar-daddy is, and he knows that Bush has a lot to offer him in exchange for supporting Bush's plan to use Mexican labor as a way for corporations to knock down wages of uppity American unions and nonunion workers.

5. Especially among Americans who don't like *.

7. First, he'd do a Marty McFly

"nobody calls me chicken". Next, invasion.

8. And Mexico would be state #51

eom

That was if * cared to find out what Fox had said.
