Nevertheless, as our 1992 impeached president said. It's all a “pantomima”, meaning a big circus (theater)

If the fat-ass has nothing to hide, if her party's top members who are now in jail, are innocent, if the PT is not corrupt, if she was not an urban guerrilla fighter - nice name for muderer, kidnapper etc - then why is she - and her party - so afraid of talkng about corruption, of allowing the Senate to authorize the Military to form their own truth commission and publish their findings.... she is scared shitless, and when you see her stuttering, losing track of what she's saying, it is obvious what a joke she is.

Aug 23rd, 2014 - 10:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@5, dead on. The indignant reaction from the Brazilian government at the time (early 60's) was a joke...but de Gaulle's quip (that Brazil was not serious) wasn't. In the mid 80's, after the country had been returned to civilian rule, even Pelé (soccer player) was hounded because he had stated “Brazilians don't know how to vote”, referring to the fact that the people voted for whoever promised the most, regardless of the obvious impossibility of complying. Today, most educated Brazilians would agree with both statements, which go hand-in-hand with the phrase coined by an Australian journalist about 30 years ago, “Brazil, the country of the future”....the 'then' future is now 'past', and Brazil is no closer to a decent future.
