Greatest joke of the day: Noroña, "dickheads," and Belaunzarán

It's hard to think of more polar opposites of people still nominally coinciding on the political left: Fernando Belaunzarán, one of PRD's most important intellectuals, and Gerardo Fernández Noroña, the rabble-rousing former PRD spokesperson-cum-national deputy for the PT. Here's a little incident that recently happened, according to Belaunzarán's blog:
"As we were both to attend the Political Science Congress at the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, I invited the deputy Gerardo Fernandez Norona to, instead of having two separate presentations, for the benefits of the student we would have a debate to contrast our positions. He could have refused and nothing more, but chose to insult: "I don't debate with pendejos," to which I replied, "but I do, and invite you to the debate."
Noroña's response?  Hurling a glass of red wine at Belaunzarán (he missed).
