Vicente Fox "Revolution of Hope" co-author: Bush-linked Rob Allyn

Posted Sat, Oct 13, 2007 at 11:03 am

The co-author of Vicente Fox's book "Revolution of Hope" - which he's currently on tour promoting - is none other than Mexico's very own bought-and-paid-for propagandist, Rob Allyn. In 2005 he was paid $720,000 by the Mexican government to help show their side of massive immigration from that country. He's also friends with Ruben Navarrette Jr. and he's linked to the Bush family.

Says he:

"Because I agree passionately with what the president has to say about free trade and immigration and America, it's really easy for me to tell this story... That's what makes it worth the long hours and the time away from home. Besides, it was fun... ...It's completely anti-intuitive right now. The last thing people want to hear about is free trade and immigrant labor crossing the border..."

'the rare privilege of helping a friend of 10 years while cementing Mr. Fox's place in the history of Mexico and the globalization movement.' Where will George Bush's place be cemented in the 'history of the globalization movement', Robbie? 'a man [Fox] Mr. Allyn regards as a Lech Walesa or a Nelson Mandela.' "We said from the beginning of this book, 'We're going to be honest,' " said Mr. Allyn. 'Mr. Allyn said the contract was completely legitimate given his deep knowledge of Mexico.'

Politicians -- 99.9% of them are totally full of shit and/or criminals, and the other 0.1% could never get elected President. Imagine writing a book about your own doings and calling it 'Revolution of Hope'.

What a surprise, I thought Rob Allyn was paid 30 pieces of silver instead of the amount mentioned.
