Fox: ¿un caso perdido?
En algún momento se le comienza a considerar como un lame-duck, término que literalmente se traduce como “pato cojo”, aunque el diccionario dice que, cuando es aplicado a una persona, la traducción adecuada es “caso perdido”.

In Mexico, Fox is considered to be a lost cause --- similar to a lame duck --- he hasn't accomplished much of anything. They've pretty much decided he was just a good candidate but has failed as a president. Since they don't listen to him much in Mexico, maybe coming and spouting off his mouth in the USA is about all he can do.
