Comic Relief: Zelaya's Embassy Ordeal

When the 2006 Honduran presidential campaign got a little nasty, supporters of current president-elect Pepe Lobo frequently pointed out that deposed president Mel Zelaya never finished his university education.

Now that the amount of goodwill from Lobo's supports towards Zelaya is basically nil, it's easy to imagine Mel's critics having a good chuckle over the anecdotes the Miami Herald unearthed about Zelaya's ongoing confinement at the Brazilian embassy.

The most interesting detail of Zelaya's time in capacity should spawn at least a couple good political cartoons:

"Supporters wrapped Zelaya's room in foil to protect him from the radiation waves to block cellphones, which they believed were harmful."

Any chance that could possibly be effective?
