Ok, so who's the bigger joke? The feeling-rockstar-but-forgot-to-smooth-down-the-wig-properly former corporal who joined the incarcerated senator-soldier on his march to the Pen, or the feeling-ay-pues-mirame-soy-con-los-reyes-de-España pseudo-president who, irony of all ironies, received some kind of medal from a Spanish university for her defense of human rights?
WTF, right??? The Medalla de Oro should have been the Medalla de Horor for gross disrespect for human rights and the rule of law. What was the board of the Universidad de Alcala thinking? A medal perhaps for fattening a mutant species of cerdo filipino descended from Avila. But as a champion of human rights? She only abolished the death penalty because it was politically expedient. As my grandfather loved to say, ¿qué coño?
As for Corporal Rockstar, was he on his way to a revolution or an audition for the Bob Dylan biopic? Either way too late the hero.

Is that a contemporary version of Diego Velasquez's "Las Meninas"... with Miniwati ???!!!

Toto, perhaps it's a Goya-inspired Duquesa de Caga?
