Fighting with Fox

One of the week's ongoing spats is between Vicente Fox and the opposition legislators in the Chamber of Deputies, who have refused to approve his expenses during two years of his term. In response to the rejection and calls for an investigation, Fox called the legislators "crazy" and "dummies". In response to the response, priísta Samuel Aguilar offered a deft couplet that finished with the declaration, "Fox is messed-up in the head."

To celebrate, Ricardo Alemán takes a trip down memory lane, examining how attitudes toward Fox have changed, although his blustering has remained constant:

It seems that one of the favorite sports of politicians, parties, and citizens is taunting Fox, a politician who captivated many between 1997 and 2000, who unleashed passions and hopes with the birth of a new century, and whom today they would like to burn at the stake.

Update: Aguilar must like the attention he receives for being humorous: today he offered to pay for the therapy sessions for Germán Martínez, so that the PAN leader could get stuff off his chest in private, rather before the eyes of the nation.
