Bananas Split comedy continues with the Hugo Chavez stooge Manuel Zelaya rushing about making speeches on TV about how criminals have tossed him out of his beleaguered Honduras. Those criminals turn out to have acted with measured collegiality and with a deal of constitutional sobriety. Robert Micheletti, the acting president in Tegulcigapas, is confidently insisting that, if and when Zelaya returns, he will be arrested as a pompous criminal. Zelaya failed to land his plane at his former capital last Sunday and no longer receives serious attention. After POTUS stumbled the first hours by claiming the flapdoodle was a "coup," the White House has been silent. State saved POTUS's face by handing off the negotiation to the heroic blowhard Arias of Costa Rica. No result after a week of fat-chewing. Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal, a ringing voice of liberty on the Honduran crisis since the start, will join me Sunday 12 to update the shenanigans.
