For the last month, a Chamber of Deputies sub-committee has been looking into the finances of ex-president Vicente Fox. There are allegations that Fox benefited personally from influence pedaling and may have diverted Federal property to his own farm for his personal use (a Humvee that he likes to drive around the spread is always mentioned… Fox claims it’s for his security people).
Don Chente got a little testy the other day, when he was interviewed by the Spanish radio network, SER. He claimed he was the first Mexican Preisdent to give an accounting of his personal assets (not true: Juan Alvarado back in the 19th century was proud to still be a poor man when he resigned the presidency and grumpy 1950s president Adolfo Ruíz Cortones accounted for all his assets, right down to his wife’s second-hand Buick). Whatever, Vince…
If we don’t believe him — he’s got character witnesses: Colin Powell and George W. Bush. Colin Powell wouldn’t lie would he? And as to George W. Bush,… Mission Accomplished! An unimpeachable witness! 
Sieg Heil…
uh…
¡Juramos!
