Who's channeling who here? Clearly -- for better or for worse, and at least in this instance -- Hugo is his own man. From there on, down to Pepe, it's all me too.

Mr roT said...

Here's some stuff in English for the defender of democracies Obama to read, 'Splained real slow.

My syntax was not the most felicitous in the above, I will gladly concede. But, after 24 hours on the road, my brains are rather mushy. Good enough of an excuse for Senor Rotto?

A comment from someone much more in tune with what's what than hapless Senor Pepe:

The event this morning should be taken as an arrest against a Honduran citizen, Manuel Zelaya, who broke the constitutional Honduran law in multiple occasions over the last few days. This SHOULD NOT be taken as a coup d'état. The vast majority of Hondurans firmly oppose Manuel Zelaya and are in favour of his arrest. The events happening today were caused by an attempt by Manuel Zelaya to manipulate our country and its constitution to fulfil his ultimate goal of remaining in power indefinitely.

No VCP necessary, but I guess you were meaning that you started the ball rolling, looking directly into the depths of Honduran Constitution for the article on-point.

Sehrgut!

Now, I imagine Chávez understands all that, and Samantha Powers probably has someone on her staff that went to all the dreary effort of actually learning a language or two, but then why does Obama persist in being wrong?

Also, how do you square this wrongness with the Iranian wrongness a couple weeks back?

Even Cohen is irritated with the One.

Tecs, too pre-postmodern. Rope.

Mr roT said...

Tecs, amazing unanimity in these blogs. I guess the right was providing rent-boys to the BBC.

Tecumseh said...

Actually, all I was trying to say is that everyone from Obama on down to Pepe is parroting the Chavez line, as in "me too".

Reuters' take: The Obama administration's stance contrasted with the equivocal position taken in 2002 by former President George W. Bush's administration, which was seen as tacitly accepting a coup against Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez.

The horror, the horror!

HuffPo back to normal on this one and against democracy.
