O’Donnell Abú

Santiago O’Donnell demonstrates here, for the umpteenth time, the mastery of basic facts that so amply qualifies him to write about international affairs for Pagina/12.  He says that Joe Biden,

plagiarised entire paragraphs of an obscure English philosopher.

Biden was, in fact, caught plagiarising the speeches of Neil Kinnock who is neither English nor a philosopher but was, at the time, the leader of British Labour party.

What About Juárez And Toledo?

In an article of no great weight about another matter, Reynaldo Sietecase repeats the canard that Evo Moralas is the first indigenous president of an American country. What about Benito Juárez, five times president of Mexico? Well, that was in the nineteenth century and you can’t expect journalists to know any history.

What, therefore, is his excuse for not remembering the case of Alejandro Toledo of Peru, who only left office in 2006? Could it be a case of amnesia brought on by finding Toledo’s policies uncongenial?
