Amidst a sometimes tense meeting this week in Costa do Sauipe, where presidents grappled with global financial collapse, and aimed much of their ire at the US, the president of Brazil showed his prowess at defusion (and that he has a lighter side)...From the Wash. Post:
Lula jokingly threatened to throw a shoe at Chavez if the long-winded socialist leader spoke beyond his allotted time.... And at a news conference later, Lula quipped to reporters: "Please, nobody take off your shoes."
Well played, sir.
