IF GORDON BROWN THOUGHT that the statements coming out of the Czech Republic were a source of embarrassment in the lead-up to the G20 meeting then he must have been stunned by Brazilian President Luís “Lula” da Silva’s outburst during his typically endless, rambling, unprepared diatribe passing as a speech on Brown’s latest stage of his international tour. Lula, standing next to Brown, decided to tell the world that the current economic crisis was caused by “white people with blue eyes”.JAUNTY COMMUNIST LULA obviously likes a bit of a laugh, which is fine in a country where politics are a bit of a joke; a good example of this was the last elections, when a special dispensation allowed candidates to change their given names to other ones, such as nicknames – as is the case of Lula himself -- in order to be more easily identified by the populace at the urns: dozens of people changed their names to Barack Obama.
HOWEVER, BLUE-EYED POLITICIANS in the west will no doubt be looking at their campaign photos in the coming months and weeks to check whether there is not too obvious a hint of the cerulean about their eyes.
