Brazil’s Favorite Clown and Deputy “Tiririca” Not Illiterate After All

Brazilian electoral candidate Francisco Everando Oliveira Silva, better known as “Tiririca” the clown, is a step closer to be able to serve as a deputy, after passing a reading/writing test (which current president Lula, once a shoe shiner said to be an idiocy, an insult to those who voted for him) mandated by the Regional Electoral Tribunal of Sao Paulo, following rumors that the clown was illiterate, and thus unable to assume the job.

Titirica had to write a dictation taken from the book “Electoral Justice: A Retrospective” and read aloud the headings and titles of two articles published in a national news paper.

1. This is good news. It was clear the opposition hoped to be able to find a way to remove him.

Sounds as if they've hired a clown to decide what to do with the votes they have proclaimed to be invalid should their judges find a way to find him not literate enough! So inscrutable!

Hope these geniuses will go down in dust in their predictable, perennial effort to deprive the public of its will at the ballot box.

I think the sour politicians can't live with the insult he has delivered. Hope they will be obligated to live with it.
