The incident adds to more misery for Imelda Marcos, who is the subject of dozens of graft cases that have hounded her since her family was toppled in a popular uprising in 1986.

She was sentenced to 11 years in prison on seven counts of corruption last year for making illegal bank transfers worth $200 million to Swiss foundations while Manila governor in the 1970s.

Marcos denies the charges and is on bail pending her appeal.

Probably it’s shoe polish poisoning.

I thought the Marcos were long dead? Sounds like it might be soon?

I would not be surprised if the poisoning was deliberate and carried out by Marcos opponents. Then again I understand all the reasons her opponents despise her. Not sayin that makes poisoning a bunch of folks O.K., just that I understand the feelings of her opponents.

(P.S. I have Philippino friends whose husband and father was either underground or in prison during the entire Marcos era - because he was known to not be a Marcos supporter. They had to come and live in the U.S. work and finish Junior High, Senior High and College until Cory Aquino came to power - when their husband and father was relaased from one of Marcos’ prisons.)

Gee I hope our old anti-America sparring partner, ZOTTED FReeper Alex W. was not at that party. That would be a shame. Then again, his ‘Washing Machine’ probably never let’s him out of their mud hut, unless it is to go out for another booze run.....

I’m just recovering from food poisoning on the 4th of July. Damn Carne Asada in a crockpot! I’ve been miserable and haven’t showered in 3 days! I hate throwing up with a passion — the last time was December 2005 — but I finally succumbed and felt slightly better. Can’t wait to fully recover.
