Charlatan!

El Panama America, in its editorial, shows uncharacteristic restraint today. Sure, they call Hugo Chavez a "charlatan" because he was angry about Colombia's and the United States' independent bombing of a rebel camp, Mexican students AND the hostage release negotiations all in one blow and inside Ecuador (Panama would be delighted if Colombia started bombing Meteti or the banking center as hide-outs of the FARC). But at least the editors left the bigger charlatan alone. After all, Torrijos went to the Cumbaya meeting in Santo Domingo and came back drooling with pride and claiming that it was HIS speech that had made the difference. Strange that NONE of the international media even mentioned Torrijos' speech. He probably gave it in his hotel room in the mirror only, while Ritter changed his diaper. Anyway, class act of El Panama America to not further hammer the point.
