    All she is doing is delaying the inevitable fall from office.

    ”The suspension was made in response to an appeal from Rousseff allies (Brazilian Communist party) arguing the opposition had illegally insisted on secret votes -- not the usual open ballots -- while picking who would sit on the 65-member congressional commission.”

    Well, well, well....that's a change of heart by the f*cking communists.....the fact is that just about all votes in Congress have traditionally been secret - a position that the PT and Government have always defended - as it permitted them to lie about their true convictions. Only recently, due to pressure from the streets and from the opposition, the votes have started to be open. Quite frankly, I hope they remain open, as it will allow us to identify the real traitors in Congress or, Dilma's supporters.

    @1 BRasshole...
    You NEARLY got it right ....Brazil is the richest 'poor' country in the world....ironic isn't it, you stupid moron ?
