Poor George...

It's been a REALLY LONG year for GEORGE DUBYA: Iraq, Plame, Sheehan, Iraq, Katrina, Chavez, Iraq, DeLay, Iraq, Frist, Abramoff, Iraq, Rove, Libby, Iraq, Torture, Miers, Iraq, Rendition, Iraq, NSA, Iraq and now BOLIVIA?!!

Evo Morales, a leftist former coca leaf farmer vowing to be a "NIGHTMARE for the U.S.," was poised to become Bolivia's first indigenous president on Sunday after likely clinching one of the biggest electoral victories in the country's history. [a bona fide one]

* * *

A high-school dropout who herded llamas as a boy, [they have some things in common, after all] Morales has vowed to nationalize Bolivia's natural gas industry [I take that back!] and roll back a U.S.-backed eradication program of coca, a key ingredient used to make cocaine...[on second thought...]

Washington considers Morales an enemy in its anti-drug fight in Bolivia, the third biggest cocaine producer after Colombia and Peru. His critics fear a Morales government could jeopardize the country's flow of multi-million dollar economic aid from Washington.

OUCH! That's gotta hurt!

Hang in there, George! 12 more days and you're 1/4 of the way through!
