Just five short days ago the OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza embarrassed short-fused Tang®-hued Florida Congressman Connie Mack in front of his entire subcommittee with the deflating observation that Venezuela doesn’t provide any funding to the FARC after all no matter how much you might wish they did. The moment was awkward and funny and Mack apparently stewed over it all weekend.
And yesterday afternoon Mack struck back by firing off this hilariously over-the-top letter to the Secretary General calling him, quote, “a puppet for the forces of tyranny,” and demanding that he recuse himself from any future laptop related investigations. He also said that Insulza claimed “repeatedly” that the FARC are not a terrorist organization to begin with, which sort of never happened, and now Mack says he “lacks confidence” in the organization as a whole. And then the OAS read it and had a good chuckle at the notion that anybody would care what this Connie Mack person thought about anything.
