'I'm not a coke-head or a boozer', said the ex-director of employment for the Junta de Andalucía 'but ay do enjoy a Marlboro and the odd Beefeater and tonic'. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose, but that's not why he's in the headlines (despite accusations from his ex-chauffeur of scoring him loads of marching powder). No, he is front-page for the amount of public money he misappropriated - thought to be 933 million euros - and for being tossed into jail yesterday.
During the campaign for the Andalucía elections.

It seems very harsh to me that he gets banged up for misapropriating such a piddling amount of money!!!!!

How can they expect us to "govern" when we can't "misappropriate" a billion or so? World's going to hell I tell ya.

Here's an even worse story:
