Sounds just like argieland. And you always had those paternity suits to threaten him with, didn't you? I guess he was always going to be “co-operative”. Presumably the land deal was to make up for the presidential salary Lugo wasn't going to draw. Even saintly ex-bishops have to eat, I suppose. Are you concerned that Vice Pres.... sorry, President Franco isn't going to be quite so helpful? Or is it just that he hasn't let you know how much his “co-operation” is going to cost....yet?

A vacancy just when Lugo needs a new job?
