I can't wait* to see what our far and loony Right makes of the outcome of Mexico's Presidential election. No doubt they'll be hopping mad, hopped up on conspiracy theories, and ready to leap into war -- though somehow the pundits and politicians manage to never have to hump a rifle and full pack into battle personally (PDF).

* By which I mean it will be boringly predictable and I certainly can wait. The annoyingness of, "Let's you and him fight," is only increased by stirring in desperate blood-and-soil blather.

ReplyDeleteCrazy will out.
have to wonder how, if he were re-elected (or stole it) DJT would deal with a Jewish woman in charge in Mexico. A sight to behold, I'm sure
