The Tampa Tribune is feeling sorry for poor old Alvaro Uribe today because, you know, how was he supposed to know that the US would all of the sudden have a problem with large scale, state sponsored murder, right? For years everything had been going along just fine--he'd drown an old lady in the bathtub and just cold sit back and watch the billion $$$ welfare checks roll in. But then Sir Hopes-A-Lot rolls in and completely effs with his game:
"Now comes President-elect Obama, armed with a new foreign policy agenda that includes giving human rights higher priority in international negotiations. One can almost hear the plates smashing in the Casa de Narino, Colombia's presidential palace."Um, yeah, those would be skulls of orphans, but whatevs. Anyway Colombia might not get his trade deal now, and that's super unfair, or totally understandable or something. Who can understand the Florida newspapers?
