Reply #131: Yeah, as if Mockus would agree to join in a Chucky Santos government [View All]

[rabs]

Smacks of a panic attack on the part of Santos. There were two other developments in the same vein last week.

-- An uribista senator (forget his name) proposed that former Colombian presidents be given a seat in the Senate. Not only that, but that LOSING presidential candidates also be granted a Senate seat.

Why? Although he did not say it, having a Senate seat would grant immunity from any possible charges brought against alvarito. And against Santos, if he loses the election to Mockus.

-- Then there is the proposal floated by Chucky Santos himself. He proposed that the national judiciary be put under the control of the presidency :shrug:

That way the president (Chucky) would control investigations such as the ballooning DAS scandal and alvarito's part in it, the "false positives extermination program initiated by Chucky Santos," the yidispolitical scandal (bribes to congress members that allowed alvarito to run for re-elections in 2006), the Agro-Industry scandal that broke a few months ago, the La Macarenas, the paramilico connections to alvarito, the accusations being made by Mancuso and other drug capos now singing like canaries in U.S. prisons and on and on ...

On a lighter note, El Espectador newspaper over the weekend did an online poll on polls. (realize online polls are unreliable, but this is funny.)

¿Usted les cree a las encuestas sobre candidatos?
(Do you believe in the polls about the candidates?)


Sí 30.5% (4,358 Votos:)

No 66.8% (9,538 Votos:)

Ns/Nr 2.7% (391 Votos:) (Don't know, no response)

Total de votos: 14,287

Btw, alvarito is in Madrid for the EU-Latin America conference. Will check out the Madrid media later to see if he is catching hell from journalists there who will ask questions the Colombian journalists dare not pose.

(edit to insert dropped word. Treason on the part of the eyes ... lol )
