Brazil elects a illiterate clown to congress

You think thats messed up? Look at the British coalition not-a-real-government.

Also, Boris Johnson managed to become mayor of london... enough said.

Oh well, it's only Brazil. What do they have besides trees, people that love trees, and rolling blackouts? Let their grumpy clown go to power, maybe he'll actually do some good, because the 'normal' politicians sure as hell aren't.

**** an illiterate clown

Schwarzenegger got voted too, and look how bad that idea turned out.

Schwarzenegger did a fine job, he was just a good-ole Reaganaut surrounded by a bunch of pinkos.

And the clown may be brilliant, who knows?

On a more serious note, that's seriously messed up and sort of an argument against democracy.Since it proved the average voter is a moron who does not care.

Actually, I think it speaks volumes about how disliked the guy that was in power before must have been, to cause him to lose by a landslide to a clown...

actually it usually is a wake-up call for the other politicians to correct themselves, because they obviously aren't getting anywhere. Take Iceland's "Best Party"

I'm referring to his recent shenanigans: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/103968-Mock-Trials-Split-Between-Schwarzenegger-and-EMA
The massive Dept wasn't all his fault he inherited part of it.
And I don't diss the clown, nobody disses the clown.

Brazil elected Bush? Come on, guys. He had 8 years and couldn't do shit worthwhile here.

 

[Mcface]

This is hilarious, though expected from Brazil.

 

[Dogstile]

Its just a popularity contest, nothing more. I for one am amused.

 

[Bon_Clay]

Congrats, you have officially made it to the ranks of all the other top nations with clowns no one likes in charge.

I read in the paper that he was running but never actually expected him to get in.

Okay, Brazil is now going on a campaign to scare the bejeezus out of everyone who doesn't agree with their policies.

Fun times.

I can only fear the worst for Brazil. They elected someone just because of the fact that the individual is funny.
