New Skills, Old News: NBA, Najera Shill for Right Wing

So, until last night I did not know how to put images into a Blog entry. Yeah. Go figure.

But I have been wanting to post this f-ed up photo of Eduardo Najera presenting then not officially "elected" Mexican President Felipe Calderon a Nuggets jersey.

This photo is pretty old at this point. It actually ran on NBA.Com in the middle of August, at least a few weeks before Calderon was officially certified as Mexican President in a very suspect election. From what I have read it seems very likely his opponent Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador actually won. Here is Lopez Obrador's own break down of the election.

How confident was Calderon in his victory? Check his less than glorious inauguration just three weeks ago.

So how does Eduardo get the role of the shill? Well, Najera is apparently among the President's friend list. He was one of 136 guests at Bushies first State Dinner on Sept 5, 2001. Then Mexican President Vincente Fox (an fellow Bush prop) was an honored guest and that is what appears to get Eduardo in the door. Weird, huh? Couple other athletes (Anthony Munoz and Darrell Green) there, but the rest are some high rollers. Lotta media types from Mexico and some FOX folks from here. Probably was a hell of a party.

I wish I saved the NBA.com caption, but it was some bullcaci about 'Najera welcomes the new President'. On NBA.com, front and center on their main page. Weeks before he has even officially awarded the presidency. Meanwhile, millions were converging upon Mexico City in protest of the election fraud.

Anyhow, my point is there is some messed up shit is still happening in Mexico, and it would seems that Eduardo Najera is a total f*ck head, and the NBA is a happy prop for the neo-con agenda. I love this game.
