Scenes from Mexico’s Congress
Source: El Universal, via StJacques at Free Republic

Mexican Congress has opened, and supporters of failed presidential candidate, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the ridiculous little man who could not take defeat like and man, and instead inaugurated himself president last week, are determined to not allow real electoral winner, Felipe Calderon, take office. It’s actually a constitutional requirement that he take office physically and these clowns and bozos – who are defying the will of 44 million Mexican voters – are determined to physically prevent that from happening. They want the second-place finisher to take office instead. It just goes to show their contempt for democracy and their utter unfitness to be seated in Mexico’s congress. They are not democrats, they are, rather, in the same league as the Sadr-ites who have infiltrated Iraq’s parliament via legitimate elections, even as they wage civil war on the side. At least they are having the good sense to threaten to resign these days, or so I heard on the radio this morning, going the Subommandante Marcos route to oblivion. But not these Mexican congress guys. They are determined to halt democracy and elections by force. From inside! And to turn congress into the most undignified, un-Mexican brawling match Mexico has ever seen. Aside from that, they are uniting with the troublemakers linked to gangs in Oaxaca state, as is so beautifully chronicled by Mark in Mexico. He’s got a good take on this aspect in his most recent posting of developments, here

Who cannot be reminded of this?

Unfortunately, such specters should be confined to the ring of sport, not the enclaves of democracy. But that just goes to show where the sour-grapes losers of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador are at right now, a bunch of fourth-rate Mexican wrestlers turning the Congress into a Mexican wrestling match.

UPDATE: Mark in Mexico has video of the mess and an expert baseball analysis of the best throw techniques from the babe’s gallery up top. It’s a must-read here.
