Doomsaying Leftists

Leo Zuckermann takes on the disturbing recent tactic of the extreme Mexican left to refer ominously to the fall of Calderón's government. Since Mexico operates under a presidential rather than a parliamentary system, this would necessarily trigger a grave national crisis, a la Watergate, or worse. The leftists accuse sympathy-seeking Calderón and company of being the genesis of the scandal. I find that unlikely, given that Porfirio Muñoz Ledo, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and others brought up the matter of Calderón's fall, and it's a topic that has obsessed the radical left since Calderón's election. In any event, it's horribly irresponsible.
