Mujica says to Brasil “Take the responsibility. Don't let CFK take things over, that is a death wish. We will back you.”

Using your words would have saved an awful lot of trees being felled and “creating a vacuum”.

So those big clearings in the forest when big trees fall must have been done by the vacuum! I never knew that.

Why use concise and understandable words when you can ramble on about “big contradictions in society are ‘not squashed but conducted’ ” whatever that means.

Actually since Chavez's demise, Mujica has come across as the only South American leader who is actually willing to lead!

He has given out some sound advice and appears to be the only one taking any initiative.

President Mujica seems positively wise as compared to CFK! But for the umpteenth time, I don't know what he means. Probably not much.

Good points from Pepe; he AND Cristina ARE wise. Again the headline puts the most right wing possible spin on it...
