From The American Spectator—There is nothing like watching politicians utter the naked truth. So rare it defies belief. Like Cidinha Campos, the blunt Brazilian Congresswoman from Rio de Janeiro, who points the finger at the bad political apples with justified and refreshing outrage. The late Ohio Congressman Jim Traficant had nothing on her.
It is worth watching Brazil’s Campos for a few minutes on the floor of the Brazilian Chamber before reading the brief translations (here). Referring to a corrupt congressman who did himself in, while citing specific violations of legal codes, she said:
I want to discuss those who shamelessly take from the public purse.
He is more corrupt than his politician father. Corruption is in the DNA of our politicians instead of being addressed by the legal system.
This corrupt thief appointed himself to the Treasury. I see their cynicism. The more corrupt they are, the more simpatico they come across to people.
It would be even more refreshing if the American press and media alike were to have Cidinha Campos’s cojones. More

What is up with these rhetorical thread titles?
This guys walking a tight rope. He falls the wrong way he’s Mr. Insignificant.
He’s one bold reporter (or a citizen on a well placed microphone) with the stones to call him, say, an incompetent daddy abandoned me, mommy never loved me, Commie grandparents beat me fucking gayrod fuckstick away from a total nervous breakdown.
May it happen, soon.
Chief, yea, I’m feeling self distruct mode. Let’s see if the media keeps saving his worthless ass.
