It’s good to be king

Royalty are usually conservatives, but unlike American conservatives aren’t hypocrites.

North of the border, it appears our republican (and Republican) conservatives — when they aren’t stealing money, or their neighbors’ water (or teenage sons) — or finding some new kink not mentioned in the Ten Commandments… Like thou shalt not cavort in diapers with ladies of the evening, — are begetting “love children”.

We’re always shocked, shocked to discover that conservatives are a bunch of self-serving hypocrites. Down here, we already know that. When the former #2 man in the last administration, point man in spinning a minor spat over eminent domain into an all out push to get Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador tossed in the slammer, wanna-be PAN presidential candidate and presently PAN leader in the Senate, Santiago Creel Miranda, fessed up that he begat four-year old daughter with telenovela star, Edith González, the reaction is… SO????

How do you expect conservatives to act? Creel Miranda comes from a long line of richer than is good for them norteños, who’ve been grabbing what they wanted since the days of Porfirio Diaz. The Creel-Terrazas family were always something like royalty in Chihuahua — at least in the sense that they married for dynastic reasons and hung on to power through regime changes through strategic alliances with whomever was in power at the time.

And, boinking the hoi polloi.

It’s good to be king … even if it’s only King of Chihuahua.
