A Bananas Scenario

Snark on Sunday, courtesy of Lucianne.com which leads off the this gem.


Cast of Characters

A president who has taken millions of dollars in bribes, selling out foreign policy and who knows what else. Oh, yes, he is also intermittently senile. 

His presumptive competitor in the next election, accused of multiple crimes, some of which involve 'creative' legal theories. And this previous president is both the most and nearly least popular active politician in our country. 

How is this not a banana republic scenario? I'm thinking Peru or Ecuador, with elements of Nicaragua.
