You've heard of skunks at the garden party? Such as still-ruling Nicaraguan socialist strongman, Daniel Ortega, who got his famous nickname from none other than the great Ronald Reagan?

I thought former President Reagan coined that phrase for Panamanian ‘strongman’ Manuel Noriega.
Maybe he did for both.
Clever!
Gosh, it looks like Venezuela too just didnt find the right people who could make socialism work. Amazing how socialists never seem to be able to find the right people. Oh well, Im sure it will be a big success the next time its tried.
