Calderón as Churchill? Or "an act of megalomania"?

Calderón's recent comparison of himself with Winston Churchill, and Mexico's fight with the drug cartels with Churchill's fight against the Nazis, predictably drew a lot of fire from the opposition, and rightly so: The comparison was bizarre, to put it mildly. 


Armando Ríos Piter, PRD's group leader in the Chamber of Deputies, put it best: "an act of megalomania"

  2. Hah! Well, while Calderón, if the rumors are true, is certainly doing his best to hide it, if nothing else, Winston rather assumed it as a virtue...
