that the renewal of ATPDEA (end of July) comes at the most inopportune time for the fugitive Snowden. Yet still, the Snowden lovers insists that Correa would risk throwing thousands of Ecuadorian livelihoods under the bus to accommodate a thief seeking asylum. Just goes to show how illogical and out of touch with reality the Snowden bandwagon really is.

Correa, like most Central/South American populist leaders, has an image to uphold. The sovereignty bravado is what's expected to strengthen the socialism. But Correa is NOT FUCKING STUPID. He has a country to run, and impoverished people to take care of. And lo and behold, what was the official statement today from Ecuador? 'IT COULD TAKE MONTHS to grant Snowden asylum'. LoL.

Get over it.
