Vicente Fox… what a dope(r)!

Under the apparently mistaken belief that he is still politically relevant, former president Vicente Fox stuck in foot in his mouth… twitteraliy (or is it now “X” rated) … last week when, in support of the candidacy of Xochitl Galvez whom he presents as the only “authentic” Mexican … or rather the most authentic… proposed sacrificial victim (er… conservative coalition candidate) who will face the Morena candidate in next July’s presidential election. The odds on favorite being Claudia Sheinbaum, Fox describes her… not as a scientist, an environmentalist, a skilled politician… but as something more, uh, down to earth: A Bulgarian Jew.

In another triumph, Fox’s new gig… selling marijuana based products under the “Paradise” label …has fallen afoul of the regulatory agencies. During a routine health inspection, Fox’s line of CBD based (or so claimed) products were lacking “evidence of safety, quality or manufacturing origin”. At least one shop (his products are sold on-line and through regular cannibas shops) owned by Fox’s company was closed.

He who casts the first stone… stoned…
