Correa has said that, if he fails, he will quit politics. He has not said whether he will go back to teaching at the university (where he left no memorable impression) or if he will devote himself to playing the guitar and singing, activities he performs with greater talent than Abdalá Bucaram, another musician who drifted through Carondelet Palace. Ecuadoreans overthrew Bucaram on the grounds of madness, shortly after he perpetrated a rock 'n' roll CD in cahoots with a Uruguayan group that called itself The Irascible Ones. The CD was irrefutable proof of the charges brought against him.

Feh. What's this guy's problem? Bill Clinton played the saxaphone really badly and that didn't stop him getting reelected. Ronald Reagan was a "B" movie actor, fer gawds sake. And what about Ahnold? Eh, Eh? Still governating, last I heard.

So, Rafael Correa sings and plays guitar? Awesome! If he plays as good as he looks, I'll buy his CD.

ebear ( I'll be back)
