Cheers for whoever came up with this one!
Mexico has every right to be angry with the Dem Congress for sneaking an anti-NAFTA provision in the so called "stimulus" bill. See WSJ's Mexico Retaliates!
So Mexico is giving Speaker Pelosi, or Miss San Francisco, a taste of her own medicine:
"According to a Mexican government official following the debate, California wines are likely to be displaced in Mexico by Chilean and European wines. (Mexico has signed Free Trade Agreements with those countries, and they have not violated the agreements in the way the Obama administration has.)
It's my understanding that almost every product on this list faced a tariff of between zero and ten percent on sales in Mexico before this action; now those rates will rise to 15 or 20 percent in most cases.
Grapes shipped to Mexico will face a tariff rate of 45 percent.
The most powerful Californian in Congress is, of course, Speaker Pelosi.
If the Mexican government wanted to make a U.S. politician bear the political cost of violating NAFTA, they could hardly do better than to target Pelosi.
This list guarantees that she will hear about this every time she returns to her state -- especially when she travels to wine country." (WS)
Someone at "Los Pinos" should get a pay-raise for that one!
Let Miss San Francisco explain that one the next time she meets with business owners, specially her husband who is a very successful businessman in California.
