Last week, U.S. Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin referred to Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez as a “dictator” who could receive economic sanctions for trying to “mess with the United States whenever they feel like it”. Chavez responded snarkily to the Alaskan governor and alluded to her background before entering the political stage:"I saw the vice presidential candidate, there she was talking about 'the dictator Hugo Chavez.' The poor thing, you just feel sorry for her," he said during a televised broadcast.Aside from Chavez, some Puerto Rican politicos are upset at Palin. Members of the island’s ruling Popular Democratic Party (PDP) demand that she be investigated regarding the (overblown) controversy over the Republican Party's spending of $150,000 on her wardrobe.
"She's a beauty queen that they've pulled out to be a figurehead. We need to say as Christ did: Forgive her, she knows not what she's saying."
Why is the PDP upset? Perhaps it has to do with Puerto Rican Governor Anibal Acevedo Vila who is under investigation for possible election fraud and embezzlement.
