It's official: Colombia is run by morons

Now it's the High Peace Commissioner, Mr. Luis C. Restrepo, who is asking for explanations from Carlos Gaviria (head of PDA) regarding an article that was transcribed in Anncol. I guess it was his turn to play dumb. Who's next?

http://www.rcn.com.co/noticia.php3?nt=22240

The article was published also by El Tiempo

http://www.eltiempo.com/opinion/columnistas/otroscolumnistas/ARTICULO-...

It simply points out that Gaviria supports the notion of political crimes (sedition, insurrection, rebelion) as a separate category in the penal code, and points out its contradictory use by the government when applied to paracos. The commissioner, in an act of deep intellectual dishonesty or even deeper idiocy, considers that Gaviria's opinion justifies the insurgency, and that he should explain (a) not only why he supports the insurgency but also (b) why is Anncol publishing his opinion and (c) what are his links with FARC.

Needless to say, Gaviria's opinion doesn't justify shit. The recognition that certain crimes are political in nature is recognized by many countries, Colombia included: He is defending something that IS THE LAW as of now. That Anncol copied-and-pasted his opinion is something that Anncol has to explain, not him. Or is Uribe explaining why his interviews are transcribed in the AUC's page? And what makes the comissioner think that Gaviria has any fucking links with FARC?? Then, I guess, we would have to investigate what are the comissioner's links with the paracos!

Shit, this fucking government can't lose one election without whining and making stupid accusations.

If he did read it, what a retard, I'd like to believe he had some idiot that work from him read it and give him the gist, albeit, wrong, of the article. Because it's so obvious what he is saying, that for someone from such an important post to not get it, well, its quite embarrasing...

Not all are morons. Some are fruitcakes.

That is a distinct possibility. At a minimum it should increase your reading ability.

A google search indicates:

Colombia is run by- Morons 68,900
-dumb f..ks 77,000
-Retards 93,000
-Idiots 135,000
-fools 213,000

I’m not sure if this is additive but Colombia is in big trouble if there are many retarded idiotic dumb fuk fools in governmental positions. Being a Moron is a positive.

I won't do a search. The numbers might not fit on the page and I'd need to specify United States, U.S. or America.

I don't agree, my guess is about 90% when you EXCLUDE the Chinese and most Asians.

The other 10% are in a crusade to intuitionalize mediocrity.

80, 90, 100%? I don't know... but how many do you catch on tape? Moreover, INSISTING on their imbecility:

And the irony of the day... it turns out that Uribe's attempt to manipulate local elections were misinterpreted, because his "superior intelligence" makes him speak in abstract about things that us, the mere illiterates, can only understand in concrete.

So, it's our fault.

I saw a good bumper sticker the other day, it said:

" politicians are like diapers, they both need to be changed, and for the same reason"
