also really funny thing--the PT was arguing that it was doing the best it could to survive an inherently corrupt system because the other option were the even more corrupt fascists and, hey, they were 100% correct, and our gov't liked it when they threw the elected leader out

I admit to not knowing much about Lula, but is that really fair? Like he did A LOT to help Brazil while in office, didn't he? Condemning a Brazilian pol for common lvls of patronage seems like condemning fish for being wet.
