Scandal emerges as Bolivia president seeks fourth term

[Zorro]

President Evo Morales had seemed exempt from the scandal that has besmirched much of South America's left, but an alleged influence-peddling affair involving a woman who bore him a child comes at the most inopportune of moments.

Bolivians decide in a vote Sunday whether he can run for a fourth term.

Morales pulverized the opposition in the early years of his decade-long presidency and cut poverty as he empowered Bolivia's long-downtrodden native majority. In 2014, he won re-election with 60 percent of the vote.

But the Andean nation's first indigenous president faces the growing prospect that his current term will be his last.

Gotta be a CIA dirty trick.

After all, there are lots of 29 year old women who are general managers of engineering firms that win lots of no-bid contracts.

1. Of course. It's ALWAYS the CIA's dirty tricks

that undo these populist poseurs. After all, the poor little brown people couldn't possibly figure it out for themselves - it had to have been Washington's nefarious doings.
