An editiorial in the Kansas City paper about Bush's visit to Argentina is one of the most asinine, insulting, condescending pieces of dreck that I've ever read about Latin America. excerpt:
he [Bush] recently learned that he is unpopular among some Latin Americans.Violent protests greeted him this month at a meeting of Western Hemisphere presidents in Mar del Plata, Argentina.
But neither he, nor we, should lose any sleep over this. It was the product of the unholy triumvirate of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Argentine President Nestor Kirchner and over-the-hill soccer star Diego Maradona.
The three of them are the personification of the most common failing of Latin American nations: perpetual adolescence.
I'll be condescending back, Shirley, and say, I should have expected this kind of think from Kansas.
