2. Very à propos, Judi. Prat-Gay and Sturzenegger have been at each other's throats lately.

Whereas Prat-Gay has become an unexpected voice of moderation, Sturzenegger insists on being a real IMF parrot and is advocating for even more austerity.

I suppose that being acquitted in the Megaswap case (the fraudulent 2001 bond swap that added $38 billion to the debt) must have gone to Sturzenazi's head. The judge based based the acquittal (that was in July) solely on the testimony of one of those indicted in the case, ignoring the mountain of hard evidence against him (documents, minutes from the meetings with banks, commission payouts, etc.).

Somebody should hack the judge's bank account; it probably got a lot bigger sometime around July.
