Cantinflas for VP?

LOL...Mui buen idea!!

From TIME magazine, August 26, 1940...

Cantinflas is now popularizing a new verb in the Mexican language. The verb is "cantinflear," which means to talk much, say little, indulge in wild non sequiturs. Cantinflas constantly rebuffs German propagandists eager to use the popular theatre in Mexico to get the Führer's message across .

Somewhat like Hitlery's 'cantinflear' schtick of 2008...
