In the midst of the fiscal crisis that keeps 95,000 [Puerto Rico] public employees out on the street, several [opposition] New Progressive Party Representatives held a press conference to show the episode of a television series that, in their opinion, demonstrates that Governor Aníbal Acevedo Vilá is pulling a publicity stunt out of the situation.
Representatives Liza Fernández, Albita Rivera, Georgie Navarro, and Rolando Crespo met with the islands press to watch the episode of an American television series.
The reason behind the [press] conference was to demonstrate that the Governor has copied the actions of the series main character, the President of the United States.
Those who have watched The West Wing may notice that the Governor treats the islands crisis as if he were in a current feature film, Fernández maintained.
It should be clear to the people that this sad situation is a stunt by the Governor which is evident in one of the series episodes. The Governor is at his worst moment and, using the plight of the public employees, is trying to change his reality, she added.
The legislator indicated that the Governor created the crisis to improve his image.
Its surprising how the Governor, using his dramatic skills, has copied this episode to try to deceive a people who are jobless, a people who dont know if they will have something to eat, a people who are asking for solutions. However, the Governor focuses on fictitious dramas to try to change public opinion, she added.
He probably built a 'Situation Room' with maps and stuff just like in WW.
How will anyone know if the PR government shuts down?
Menee el perro.
Somebody watches West Wing?
Is it still on TV? What's the point? Maybe their have a 'gay' president to go with the other 'female' president. Or maybe they can just have a mexican President now to try to flank the PR stunts being carried out by the media and anti-US forces in LA.
The first time I visited there, in 1972, I was astonished to see what striking telephone workers did - they cut down the telephone poles! Wow! I will never forget that.
PR sure is a pretty place. The rain forest is fantastic and some of the beaches are superb. Also a great place to dive(scuba).
Thanks, Sergio!
"Menee el perro."
To those living north of the Río Grande (illegals excluded), that's Spanish for "wag the dog".
