MEXICO CITY Mocking Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has become an unofficial national hobby. If the head of state can be trusted with one thing, people say, its that he will keep mispronouncing names, getting geography wrong, and appearing uncultured and overly rehearsed.
In fact, its unclear whether hes providing inspiration for comedians here or becoming their competition.
I want to be the best comedian in Mexico and I think Im on the right track, stand-up comic Gon Curiel says during his bit, but Im resigning myself to the fact that it wont happen. Ill never be, at least as long as there is new material from the indisputable best comedian in Mexico: Enrique Peña Nieto.
Peña Nietos approval rating stands at 49 percent, according to a survey conducted by El Universal newspaper and a polling company and released this week. His three-year tenure has been defined by major scandals: the most wanted drug lord, Joaquin Loera Guzman, escaped from prison; 43 students disappeared at the hands of local police; and his close circle, including his wife, have been embroiled in corruption scandals.
