Mrs. Vincente Fox - the next Eva Peron?

Snip: Mexico’s Congress is moving to limit the use of public resources by Marta Sahagun de Fox, First Lady, after a federal audit revealed she had a publicly funded personal staff of 38.

Mrs Fox, who has repeatedly affirmed her intention to seek elected office, is also facing questions over government contracts extended to her sons, who are currently under congressional investigation for influence trafficking.

Mrs Fox has denied accusations by legislators and other critics that she is promoting her political ambitions through the use of federal resources available to her as First Lady.

In a report this week, the federal superior auditor did not make public the total cost of Mrs Fox’s staff, some of whom accompany her on international trips. But this week, Mexico’s Proceso magazine reported that her top 11 employees alone cost the federal payroll $782,000 a year, with the top five earning salaries of $91,000

Has she thanked Americans for paying for all these salaries? We are sending Mexico billions of dollars to "help" it's "infrastructure," and we're slated to "help" even more.
