Getting older does not necessarily mean getting wiser, we just run out of stupid thing to do.

Again Dennis: the same quotes from the same NYT article.

What does it say about Latin American journalism if all they do is rehash a dubious article from a US paper? Since he made these statements in Brazil, shouldn't it be the other way around, with NYT getting its info from Brazilian or Uruguayan sources, instead of vice versa?

Makes you kind of question the crap we get fed from outlets like La Nación and Página 12.

Larry Rohter, the article's author, was the Times's Southern Cone correspondent for several years. "In 1998, Rohter was awarded the Maria Moors Cabot Prize[sup][1][/sup] at Columbia University. He was also awarded the Brazilian Embratel prize, as the "Melhor correspondente estrangeiro" (best foreign correspondent).[sup][2][/sup]
