Re: Latin American Commie Dicktaters: Why has the recent diplomatic dust-up with Venezuela and Bolivia been so under-the-radar? I admit I haven't been my news-junky self of late, but I only heard about the recall of ambassadors from Univision -- had to google it to get the official US American MSM version of events. I hope South America doesn't 'splode, Mr. Pedo and I are headed there right after the election for our honeymoon.
Awww, you boys are going to do it, so when's the wedding? I'll donate (yet again, as this is my Fall of the ghey weddings) to the No on Prop. 8 campaign in honor of Pedo & Mr. Pedo as your date gets closer.
And hey, can you ask your Giants to pull up their jocks and at least try to beat the DBs tonight? Sheesh.
Homes winged it without a teleprompter but appeared tired for the 2 pm MDT outdoor rally despite staying in Albuquerque last night. He flubbed the pronunciation on the names of a couple of local dignitaries (they were given to him wrong as well), so he must not have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express. Tha Eagle is now en route to a $2,300 per person/$28,000 host committee fundraiser in Albuquerque 90 minutes away, which one of my partners is attending. (Him: "If I'm gonna max out, I might as well see him." Me: "Damn right." Him: "Damn right.")
Mrs RML spotted Richard Wolfe with the traveling press. Several polls reported today at politicalwire.com show that Obama now has about a seven point lead in New Mexico, pulling ahead of the margin of error here as he is in other battleground states as the economy takes a dive and the bloom falls off the Alaskan rose, leaving only a thorny stem.
Making his pitch to the fickle native New Mexico Hispanic electorate requires an enormous commitment of resources on the part of the campaign, perhaps most crucially the 18 to 20 hours the candidate must spend on the ground for one 90 minute appearance and a fundraiser. The campaign obviously feels it needs the votes and sent Hillz up to the same town about three weeks ago, while Caroline Kennedy was flying below the radar in the Albuquerque-Santa Fe - Taos axis earlier this week at a series of private fundraisers covering the range from $250 to $2300. The voters here feel entitled to an Obama campaign stop, however, and he's promised to return to New Mexico, although I think he'll do a hit and run next time as the clock runs down.
No pix from the rally, although I bet Wolfe does his standup with KO from Albuquerque this evening.
@SFL: Oh, I guess I should take a few minutes to make an appointment at city hall. I'm so excited about the honeymoon I've kind of relegated the wedding to "minor detail" status. What can I say, I'm so romantic.
@llyn: From what I gather, Evo expelled the US ambassador claiming he was supporting the riots/uprisings that are happening there, and then pal Chavez followed suit, with particularly colorful language, and at the same time recalled the Venez. amabassador to the US "before he gets kicked out". Seems to be close to zero coverage in the US MSM, which can be read as reassuring, that there isn't a bunch of banging on the wardrums...? Or, it could be sinister, keeping it on the down-low in preparation for an October surprise...?
Bush: You guys aren't holding up your end of the bargain w/r/t the war on drugs, you pushers!
Bolivia: Fuck you!
Bush: Get the fuck out!
Bolivia and Venezuela: Gladly - YOU get the fuck out!
Morales was already trying to crack down on the "low landers" (he's the first indigenous President, from the altiplano) for a land grab or oil/gas grab, when some (spontaneous?) anti-guvmint rioting opened up in the north. These weren't trucked in "europeans" but rather other indigenous peeps, sometimes called "rival gangs". Somehow Bush's brilliant foreign policy experts decided this was a good time to get pissy about non-compliance with the "war on drugs", so Morales said "vete al carajo tio Sam" and booted the Ambassador under suspicion that he was aiding the riots in the north. Chavez in Venezuela had a standing alliance pact with Morales so he booted out the American ambassador in solidarity.
I'm deeply in love with Latin America, and agree that Morales was muy simpatico on the Daily Show, but I've always considered Chavez an ass. Kind of like the Knack to Castro's Beatles.
