Lugo and his family: The Song!

It didn't take long to get President Fernando Rasputin Lugo's fatherhood exploits set to music. Here we go with Paraguayan cumbia group Angeles and their tribute to the priestly stud.

You'll get the most out of it if you speak Spanish, but at least watch out for the chorus:

"Lugaucho tiene corazón, pero no usó el condon"

Translation (with "Lugaucho" a friendly mix of the word "gaucho" with "Lugo")

"Lugo has (a good) heart, but he didn't use condoms."

UPDATE: On the prompting of sketch I checked out the song again. Yep it's 'usó' and not 'usa'..so I've changed the translation. Thanks Sketch. FWIW I'm no good with lyrics in English, either. By the way the phrase "Lugo tiene corazón" isn't one chosen by chance by the group; it was Lugo's campaign slogan last year.

He's definitely not the messiah, he's a very very naughty boy

"I've disguised it as a string of garlic. They'll never know"

Step forward President Lugo's squeeze number two, this time a woman who bore his child back in 2002 while he was a serving bishop in San Pedro, Paraguay.

Here's the link to watch the video of Benigna Leguizamón who says the following about Lugo boy, Born on September 9th 2002:

"I am 100% certain that the father of my son is Fernando Lugo Méndez. All the department (region) of San Pedro knows that disgrace is the father of my son."

Hell hath no fury.......

Paraguay: He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy

Lugo makes macho man arm signal...DOH!

I saw the scandal sheets on this story last week but thought "yeah well...another rumour". Then suddenly today the whole thing has gone thermonuclear.

President Fernando Lugo of Paraguay has just admitted in a nationally televised statement this morning that he's the father of a two year old boy that was fruit of a relationship with a certain Viviana Carillo. The thing is that it all went on while he was still a Catholic Bishop under orders. Here's Reuters in Spanish with the breaking news.

Well at least it wasn't with a choirboy I suppose, but wowsers, this one is a jawdropper. Is this what LatAm's new left-leaning leaders mean when they talk about illegitimate debt? it Expect very large rumbles in the Chaco over all this.

UPDATE: BBC News covering the story in English now.
