El Picador greets you from the village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, amid the heavy security brought in to protect our callow commander-in-thief as he stops by Hizzoner's palatial estate to help half-senile St. Pete raise some campaign scratch from suckers willing to pay $5000 a pop for a photo shoot.
It seems quite fitting that Lord Larry is hosting this event. He and Bush have a lot in common, after all. Both were born to wealth, squandered it with poor business acumen, and were then either bailed out or lucked back into affluence. Both govern with hubris and with contempt for honest dissent, in direct conflict with the fundamental tenants of democracy. Both surround themselves with cronies selected for loyalty over competence. Both make free use of mendacity, subterfuge and intimidation as their political tools of choice. And both have the patrician's disregard for those below their lofty socioeconomic strata.
At least hizzoner is not as dumb as George the Lesser. We have not yet heard of an imminent invasion of Rio Rancho, after all.
And as for all of that nonsense about the president bringing good publicity to the village--El Picador argues that just the opposite effect will occur. Hundreds of well-heeled repubs lounging around Larry's 13 acre heavily watered estate (he is the largest private user of water in the county) only re-enforces the village's image as an insular, selfish and conservative enclave of the ultra-wealthy. The good news is that now there will be plenty of photos of hizzoner schmoozing with a political pariah, destined to go down in history as even a worse president that Warren Harding. Great fodder for the next mayoral campaign!!

Off topic-but any idea why Juan Vigil resigned? Who's going to manage the thug now? Wonder if Vigil's resignation was related to the shrub's visit? Vigil was a strong Democrat.
