| Poor, poor Ingrid! |
Of course, the woman feels the heat when everyone lambastes her, from the outgoing vice president with choice words to pretty much any sinle newspaper in Colombia. So in a desperate damage control operation she even went to TV (CNN, RCN, what not) to say that no, it was not that way, she awas misunderstood, there is a blodd pact between her and the Colombian army, etc, etc.

| Nice going Ingrid! |
Unfortunately for her she is in dire need to change her public relation people because even this blogger can pick two pictures of her that show what a crass manipulation she is attempting to salvage whatever can be salvaged of her political career. In the first picture, from the BBC article, and the one I saw last night at CNN, we see an Ingrid with drawn hair, not very clean looking, no make up, a widow's outfit, not chic at all. For crissake, you almost feel like giving her a few coins from you own pocket!But the second picture, taken a few days earlier, on July 2 as Ms. Betancourt was visiting Colombia for a commemoration of the "Operación Jaque" that freed her, she was way more elegant, with puffed hair and a smart Channel like outfit, Black Berry included and Kroc like crying case.
Least you doubt me I even add an extra picture from another moment of the ceremony with the "Jaque" clearly seen.
I think she is going to need to do much better than that to recover. Or move outright to France and become a French Poltician. That should not be too difficult, there are enough "comemierda" left there for her to thrive on.
At this stage in her career I doubt that a political organization with the abilities of the Chicago machine could get her elected dog catcher in a small city precinct, or in a small town, in Colombia
ReplyDeleteAgree that she would be better off in Paris. She has burned her bridges in her homeland.
There is a frivolous aspect to her, of not thinking things through. Going to the FARC zone even though she had been warned not to. Making the multimillion dollar claim/request/reclamo while not apparently realizing that this would go over like a lead balloon. A Spanish phrase best describes her: no es seria. IOW: bimbo.
Such a frivolous person is best adapted to nightclubs and expensive restaurants in Paris.
I still think the Colombian government should simply turn her, her mother, and her lawyer over to the FARC and claim that in their case, Jaque was all a misunderstanding....
ReplyDeleteWouldn't 6 million to her be 6 million less for the poor and downtrodden in Colombia? I mean...there are so many ways you could argue how this was a bad move on her part.
ReplyDeleteTambopaxi - Zinger! Can't improve on that. ;)
