The chaos continues in Ecuador.
Washington Post: “Radio Is Blamed For Unrest In Ecuador: Small FM Station Is Fomenting Protests, Officials Contend.”
AP: “Ecuador’s Embattled President Says He Won’t Quit Despite Growing Demonstrations.”
And the Miami Herald has a nice profile of Ecuador’s ex-president Abdala Bucaram:
“It’s easy to see what makes people uncomfortable about Abdalá Bucaram, the former president at the heart of a political firestorm that has sparked street protests against current President Lucio Gutiérrez.
The man who has long referred to himself as ”El Loco” is frank and often crude. He eats his food with a spoon and says he admires lesbians because they love the most beautiful creatures on Earth: women. He compares himself to boxer Mike Tyson and boasts that he can knock down political challengers with his tongue alone.”
(Emphasis mine. Although, what the hell–what’s wrong with eating with a spoon? It’s not like people use chopsticks in Ecuador.)
