Enter, stage left, wearing a presidential sash:

Michelle Bachelet, inaugurated today in Valparaiso, Chile.
And speaking of leftists who look great in sashes, I’ve been dying to post these for a while:

The tricolor and the hardware are great, and the sword’s a brilliant touch, but what really does me in here are those cute little white gloves Hugo’s wearing.

And of course, Evo looks muy sabroso in his inaugural bling, too.





OMG, this is proof that they are DICTATORS!
ok enough with the FMR thinking. I feel so dirty!
Yeah, it’s easy to keep sliding into that mode. Repetition catapults the propaganda, you know!
(Funny how when there really WERE dictators wearing those sashes, the FMR weren’t the least bit bothered–they were delighted, because the dictators were THEIR dictators…)
yeah FMR logic for you. When they’re our friends, they don’t wear dictatorial sashes, they wear ummmm Friendship Sashes!
