Let Loose

“If McCain wins, you won’t believe how many hours I’m going to cry,” shuddered Penelope Cruz, days before the American election. So ridiculous, so foolish, but so harmless in comparison with what came afterwards. Because now all these actors, writers and artists from the extreme left have been let loose. “[It's] as if they have taken a tumor out of me,” said Antonio Banderas, after Obama’s victory. “And let the powerful tremble,” said the millionaire from his mansions in Hollywood and Marbella.

“I wonder if Bush is a human being,” Lorenzo Silva, the writer, said, rather insanely. “And the most savage, the craziest, the ineptitude of your intelligence services, Bush, are responsible for the dead of 9/11.” Let Zapatero be prepared, then, because we can be sure that Lorenzo Silva will be blaming him for the wounded in Heart, since we now know where to lay the blame for such terrorist crimes since Obama’s victory.

“Come, Obama!” wrote Jesús Ruiz Mantilla, “you are my anti-neocon hero. You’ve extracted them forever,” he said, rejoicing in his use of the imagery of tumors and scalpels reminiscent of Banderas. You’re a fool, a seedy character, obnoxious, possessed, against Aznar. And you, a Cruella de Vil, a fundamentalist, a Cossack, a Mafioso; explode, no less out-of-bounds, against Esperanza Aguirre. Obama, take them out; come to Madrid to do away with them, this bile, uncontrolled and uncontrollable with every line they say.

Obama! Hide! Our extremists are completely out of control. Just watch: if you don’t pay attention to Spain, they will break with you even more than you from your Reverend Wright. And these aren’t just a few crazy fools, as he was; these are everywhere and around here they’re considered quite respectable.


«Si gana McCain, no te imaginas cuántas horas lloraré", gemía Penélope Cruz días antes de las elecciones americanas. Tan ridículo, tan papanatas, pero tan inocuo en comparación con lo que ha venido después. Porque están desatados estos actores, escritores y artistas de la progresía extremista. Como si me hubieran extirpado un tumor, dice Antonio Banderas, tras el triunfo de Obama. Y que tiemblen los poderosos, chulea el millonario desde sus mansiones de Hollywood y de Marbella.

Me pregunto si Bush era un ser humano, enloquece el escritor Lorenzo Silva. Y lo más salvaje, lo más delirante, la ineptitud de tus servicios de inteligencia, Bush, es la responsable de los asesinados del 11-S. Que se prepare Zapatero, que Lorenzo Silva debe de estar imputándole a estas horas los soldados muertos y heridos en Herat, que ya se sabe dónde radica la responsabilidad de los crímenes terroristas desde el triunfo de Obama.

¡Obama, ven! le escribe Jesús Ruiz Mantilla, eres mi héroe anti-neocon, los has extirpado para siempre, se regocija con lenguaje de tumores y bisturís a lo Banderas. Eres un patán, un tipo bajito y ridículo, trona, energúmeno, contra Aznar. Y, tú, una Cruella de Vil, una fundamentalista, una cacique y una mafiosa, estalla, no menos desaforado, contra Esperanza Aguirre. Obama, extírpalos, ven a Madrid a acabar con ellos, la bilis desparramada sin control por cada línea.

¡Obama, escóndete! Nuestros extremistas están completamente desatados. Como te descuides por España, estos te hacen un roto aún más grande que tu reverendo Wright. Y no son unos locos sueltos, como aquel, están por todas partes y aquí se les considera muy respetables.
