And what is the movie going to be about?

I can picture the title:

“Rosario’s Baby”?

About an asshole-megalomaniac-ignoramus military-copycat-of-the-Castros-but-with-no iota-of-their-charisma,stealing the virgin child daughter of the cuntychrist…in exchange for possesions…

Give me a break.

I think Ortega is worthy of a movie ONLY if he dies at the end and is Rosario who shoots him and shoots the rest of their family and then turns the bazooka to herself.

Fuck them up the ass with a 16 inch rubber dildo the color of clepto bismol, strapped on to the devils cock and then cook them slowly for eternity along with Hitler, Mussolini, Somoza, el Che, Pinochet, Lenin, Stalin, Reagan, and all of the Popes who are also in hell.

Or let’s be god-like and dedicate the Psalm 109 to them.

amen

I find it hard to believe anybody in Hollywood would pay attention to the skank and the paedophile…

Err… Polanski?

I have no problem believing that they would raise money at the Vatican but in Hollywood

The Vatican is interested in the Catholic people of NIcaragua, and if this toad has policies they like, they’ll support the *policies* – which doesn’t mean they endorse this clown.…

Hollywood shmoliwood! I would love to see a list of the hollywoodites that gave money to Whoresario and Whoretega, like the comic calls them.

P.J.O’ Rouke said it best: “Daniel Ortega’s consetion speech sounded like a bad high school production of a banana republic version of Hamlet and his wife looks like a witch on a bad hair day-armpit hair, that is”

Iwish them ill.I hope they die slowly in a natural disaster and no one in their family survives and I hope it happens when they are visiting te Pope and the Vatican gets wiped off the face of the earth.

amen.

Happy Chanukah!

Jon Stewart dissed them BIG time! Made Ortega sound like the arsehole he is (thanks to my comic friends, I may add and brag)
and no decent SusanSarandon branch of Hollywood “left” would give them the time of the day…

They are homely looking, they lack Chavez’ hability to play te fool, they are trash. Not even liver Stone would give them a hello!

They are nothing but copycats,knocks off of a knock off…

I do not believe FOR a MINUTE that skank and tat paedophile had any attention form even Perez Hilton. Believe me.We plead wit perez to diss them and tey were not his while.

They are trasher than trash!

Consider the source.

But you are right Ortega’s become corrupt:

Your sentiment is childish.

Or I would, if it wasn’t for the tragedy that is Nicaragua. That ruins the otherwise sweet Schadenfreude.

The scariest thing of all was the day before I arrived in El Salvador for the first time, 4 Dutch filmmakers were murdered by the Army. Not a good feeling landing under those conditions.

There is, of course, no truth to the rumor that the character played by James Woods (Richard Boyle) is based on Marc Cooper…

Not defending anybody or anything, just pointing out the feedback that I got.

“You say no one on the left holds any respect for Ortega, Sorry, Hugo Chavez does. And he’s sending Danny millions of dollars that are NOT going to the people but rather into the deep pockets of Sandi-Bourgeosie. Sober up. You sound drunk,..”
—————

Slow down. I only have a little wine with dinner and this is not an existential arguement.

Even a devil can’t seem to get a break. Chavez isn’t sending money to Danny…

Look, you wrote it yourself:

“And we learn how the millions sent to Nicaragua by Chavez have conveniently been diverted into the pockets of Ortega’s extended personal and political family”

For the record, I am not defending Chavez. I have no strong feeling either way. I am happy the people thwarted the US backed coup against him. More importantly is what the voters in Venezuela think. Rhetorically, he can seem at times like a buffoon. So often, even among US politicians, we complain here about the gap between the Hope and the follow thru.

To some extent it is also more important as to what you think.
You are painting me with too broad a brush.
In the above contradiction it shows.

With sincere wishes from your babbling doof,

pablo

You are a babbling doof. You accuse me of having a hidden agenda of attacking Hugo Chavez. Wrong. I have an open agenda and a proven track record of calling him out for the blowhard demagogue he is. It is YOU that has a very poorly thinly veiled hidden agenda of DEFENDING Chavez. You have now made that abundantly clear. You say no one on the left holds any respect for Ortega, Sorry, Hugo Chavez does. And he’s sending Danny millions of dollars that are NOT going to the people but rather into the deep pockets of Sandi-Bourgeosie. Sober up. You sound drunk,

Daniel Ortega was a serious personal hero of mine back in the 80’s. He stood up to Reagan, he made lives better for people by spreading education and health care, and made it possible for poor people to stop being quite so poor and miserable. He was even a little bit of a dashing figure, which appealed to my 17-year old sensibility.

And then he became a complete and total shit head in every way. It’s sad. No, it’s tragic and disgusting. Just another thieving plutocrat who also aligned himself with a retrograde church.

—————————–

I agree with you. It’s hard to believe that anyone on the left still holds any esteem for the Ortegas’.
In fact they don’t. Ortega is not the target because there is a consensus that Ortega has succumbed to craven instincts.

That said, the question arises as to the relevance of the article which I feel is encapsulated in this following statement (but as our host writes, what do I know?)
Here Cooper has Ortega covering all his bases by appealing simultaniously to both God and the Devil:

“While still cloaked in revolutionary rhetoric, he made a close alliance with conservative local Catholic hierarchy and campaigned by alternately praising Hugo Chavez and Jesus Christ”

Here it is important to know who populates hell. No one questions the universal approbation justly heaped on Ortega… but see his friends!

Randy, yo were ahead of me! I have a picture here of me with Ortega wearing those $500 glasses and I still thought him a pretty decent guy. In person, he has a humble quiet style, sort of like Robt De Niro– he can barely put three sentences together without stumbling. But give him a public stage and some power and look out. For ,me it all ended with the Pinatas.

Truth is, that despite Reagan rhetoric, the Sandis ran a fairly clean ship while in power and were not simple M-L dictators. They introduced a lot of democratic forms and maintained an authentic mixed economy…. just shit heads, as put above. At least those who stayed. All the good people left as soon as the Pinata broke open.

After the Despots: Latin American Views and Interviews.
Graham-Yooll, Andrew

Interviews with all the writers. Some wonderful moments. Worth digging out of a library. If I recall it was maybe whats his name…the guy who won the Nobel who was most interesting. Can’t remember.

And all this reminds me of a doc seared into my brain that I recommend:

Sean Langan’s Travels With a Gringo.

From a few years ago. Journalist and his camcorder traveling up and down the continent. Pretty raw…families hitting the local tip to forage for food and anything usable; Villagers explaining they can’t have clean water unless they pony up the $300 for the line from the foreign company that owns the water.

Should be shown on Christmas day here.
