Bush is the New Che?

The Big Smirk trying to make friends with the Mexican Fox while U.S. cities burst with Latino protests against Republican racist immigration strategies reminded me of an essay in last Sunday's San Francisco Chronicle Insight I neglected to note here then. It's an entertaining piece about how Smirk has done what Castro and Che could only dream of---in one Latin American nation after another, leftist governments have been elected, thanks to the unifying symbol of what they are against: the only smirk they have to fear is Smirk himself.

And Mexico may be next.
