1. This is interesting news, EFerrari. Do you think the wingers are going to take off after Bachelet

now? We see what happened with Lula da Silva, after they've tried to slice and dice Evo Morales, and Rafael Correa.

Let's just face it: they don't like democracy, not for Latin Americans, our secret servants, apparently, in right-wing eyes, (we own them, they're in our "backyard") and they're too dishonest to admit it.

But noooooo, all thesee leftists are secret anti-Semites, or they are commies! Or both! Oh, yeah, FARC lovers.

Signed, right-wing embarassing idiots.

2. It might be worth noting that both Biden and Brown were in South America

just before this meeting -- Biden in Chile and Brown in Brazil. :shrug:
