Colorful insults, verbal incontinence, and the occasional chachalaca? Sounds a lot like elections here.

How wierd. In all that, the only 'outlawed' ad described was the one accusing the left-wing candidate of ties to Hugo Chavez, which is actually very likely!

some of us wet our *own* pants when we found out we'd have to live with the current administration for 4 more years...

"Rhetoric has been harsh, reflecting a nation split between left and right that is still learning some of the rules of democracy."
Gosh, and it took them such a short time to get to where we are after over 200 years...

...Zapatista rebel leader Subcomandante Marcos...gave his first live TV interview in years in his trademark ski mask and smoking his pipe "to call for the overthrow of the government, whoever wins."
I like his style.

"It's a very basic, very crude, very coarse, very clumsy election campaign," commentator Guadalupe Loaeza told Reuters. Sounds like it could be... north of the border up USA way...
I like the voodoo dolls part though...and "verbal incontinence," well, I guess that depends on what you have to say.....

Wow, it makes me wish I still lived in AZ so I could watch this hilarity on the news. Not much Mexico coverage up here in NYC...
I think Dr. Simi would get my vote - can you imagine the SNL sketches???

So here is the weird thing - with all that zaniness, you can't drink on INAUGURATION day. I only know this because we were in Mexico on inauguration day a few years ago. No beer sales until the inauguration hoopla was through. So, apparently, "get as drunk as you want before you vote, but no WAY you get a Corona before el presidente takes his vow of office!"
