The country, it doesn't matter... Guatemala just elected a guy that used to play a clown on TV, El Salvador elected a primary school teacher turned armed guerilla, Venezuela elected a Bus Driver....Nothing against clowns, bus drivers or teachers turned guerillas, but all three personify gross incompetence as presidents.
