Oh, Alvaro. Too bad. So SAD!

“The inexecutable…of inexecutability…of the nonexistent…of that which can’t be done, had or brought to effect….(not even with traps)…in other words, NO is NO!”

The wall behind him says “Varito (his nickname), be a man!”–which is what he said to Chavecito the other day, when he rudely accosted him at a summit and bitched about the ongoing embargo of Colombian imports to Venezuela, and Chavecito, after repeated futile attempts to calm him, finally lost patience and told him to get fucked.

But if you’re wondering what this cartoon is really about, here’s a synopsis: “Varito” is fucked. He can’t run for a third term in office. The Colombian Constitutional Court ruled against him yesterday, 7 to 2. As Raúl Bracho points out here, that’s one judge against for every gringo base Uribe allowed in Colombia. And Rodrigo Quijada notes with some glee that “Chávez sent him to hell, and the court paid the passage!”

And just to add insult to injury, people in Bogotá were actually celebrating the fact–in a square that happens to be named in honor of Simón Bolívar.

Meanwhile, the ‘Cito stays on, in accordance with the will of his people.

I don’t think he‘s snickering, but I certainly am.
