U.S. Ambassador to Mexico to Marry Heiress

From the Rantburg Diplomacy Desk:
U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza is engaged to marry one of Mexico's richest women, an embassy official said Sunday. Maria Asuncion Aramburuzabala is vice chairwoman of Grupo Modelo, the maker of Corona and Negra Modelo beers. Aramburuzabala's grandfather, a Spanish immigrant, founded the brewery. With an estimate fortune of $1.5 billion, Aramburuzabala was ranked 377th among the world's billionaires, Forbes magazine reported last year. Garza, a second-generation American whose four grandparents were from Mexico, was appointed ambassador in 2002 by President Bush. U.S. Embassy spokesman Jim Dickmeyer confirmed the engagement, but declined to provide further details.

#1 Well, isn't this special... our US Ambassador to Mexico, who in theory is supposed to be looking out for US interests, is a dual citizen himself. And to add to the magic of this image, our Mexican-American Ambassador announces his engagement to a Spanish-blooded oligarch in Mexico. Lessee... since our Attorney General is Mexican-American, and our Ambassador is Mexican American engaged to a Mexican, don't anyone hold his breath about border control. Crap.

#4 Geez, 2x. Tell me you're kidding. Tell me you forgot the /sarcasm tags.

If not, you need to lay off the Kool Aid and see if you can go a day without chalking every freakin' hangnail on the planet up to Bush, personally. You're one of a rash, the ugly itchy-bitchy type, that has infested RB over the last 14-15 months - mainly sufferers of both pre and post election stages of virulent BDS and purest wankerism. Your tripe never varies, not one iota, from the "It's all Bush's fault!" Kool Aid line.

Try a new approach, like taking reality into account. The US Amb to Mexico is of Mexican heritage (Oooh, that's really really bad - how stupid could Bush be?) and he lives and works in Mexico - so he's probably going to meet more MEXICANS than any other nationality - another very very bad thing, I guess, huh? Obviously, his loyalty to the US must be questioned - 2x sez so! Based on what, wank-off? Who'd you think he'd logically find attractive, given his ethnicity? Duh, fool. Who do you think comes to embassy parties? Duh, wanker. Who do you think he'd be attracted to? Duh, Looney. Shit, wotta 'tard.

This story actually makes perfect sense, whereas your leap off the highest cliff you could manufacture in your overheated mind doesn't. Get a grip. Best do it in private, wanking off in public, especially at RB, in poor etiquette. Thanks.

Now if you either admit you're over the top or were kidding and left your smilies and HTML tags in your other pants, then no harm, no foul. If not, well, FOAD.

As for Maria, well hell, I'd hit it.

#5 Yes, sir, master, #4, whatever you say is my command. In case you don't go out much, let me clue you in. Illegal immigration is a sore point with conservatives. Dissension may not sit well with a uni-focus,blow 'em up, kind of a macho guy like you, but limited gov't, respect for law, fiscal responsibility are not exactly new "rash, itchy, ugly, bitchy" items to conservatives.

GWB is not a conservative by a long shot but he was voted into office by conservatives, so folks like me have every right to bitch, fuss, and get ugly about things he is not carrying through on. Even Rushbo, consummate GWB sycophant, is now saying that illegal immigration/open borders need to be addressed by the WH. Get used to bitchin' from conservatives-you're going to hear alot more of it!
http://magic-city-news.com/article_2926.shtml
Well, Rush Limbaugh has gone and done it now! He's sided with the 80%+ of Americans who want immigration laws enforced and speaks openly about the negative effects of illegal immigration on this country and its citizens. He's joined the rest of his fellow Americans and become "anti-immigrant," "racist," "bigot," and a "xenophobe." What did it take for him to finally recognize that all the hype of illegal immigration was phony? Small things really (1) Hollywood's elite demanding drivers' licenses for illegal aliens and (2) Mexico's continuing its blatant interference in US affairs by challenging the vote of Arizonans in passage of Prop 200.

#6 And you offer perfect proof that you're the itchy-bitchy asshole I suspected. There is nothing in this tiny little story, so your fevered imagination creates it out of thin air. No substance, but that doesn't dissuade you, oh no, your anger is so righteous and so pure. Yeah, yeah, big fucking deal, asshole. Another member of the dime-a-dozen BDS Kool Aid Krowd. You just come here for therapy.

You're a troll. Too full of yourself to admit you blew this way out of proportion to the info you have. Another wank-o-matic who doesn't need facts, he knows all he needs to know.

HAND / FOAD.

#7 If you are not too drunk or stoned read this:
http://www.washtimes.com/national/20050131-121524-8562r.htm
"Immigration officials hit lack of new hires"
The Bush administration's decision not to hire 2,000 new Border Patrol agents for fiscal year 2006 will seriously hamper efforts to control illegal immigration along the U.S.-Mexico border, said current and retired officials.Agents on a 260-mile stretch of Arizona-Mexico border, known as the Tucson sector, are being assaulted at a rate of once every two days, according to Border Patrol statistics. Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr., Wisconsin Republican and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told reporters last week that he was "disappointed in Secretary Ridge's comments" because they seemed to go against what Mr. Bush had promised in the letter.
"Foreign terrorists continue to pose an extreme threat to the safety of our nation, and illegal immigration remains out of control," said Mr. Bonner, a 27-year Border Patrol veteran.
He also described as "unwise" a Bush plan to substitute $64 million for sensors and surveillance technology and $10 million for unmanned aerial vehicles instead of increasing the number of agents, saying, "While such technology can be useful in pinpointing the location of those who cross our borders illegally, it cannot catch a single violator.
"As long as our borders remain porous, they are just as open to terrorists and other criminals as they are to illegal aliens," he said.
Michael W. Cutler, a retired U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) senior agent who lead major INS drug-trafficking investigations for more than two decades, said it was "difficult to understand" why the administration would not fund authorized staffing increases as Border Patrol agents face a significant increase in assaults, particularly in the volatile Tucson sector.
"Just last week, the State Department issued a traveler's warning about escalating violence in the northern regions of Mexico, including incidents of kidnapping and murder," Mr. Cutler said. "These crimes are being committed on our southern doorstep, many of them against our own agents. It's time they got a little help."

#8 And let's see if you're too wrapped up in your personal fantasy to understand this:

There is nothing in this story to back up your fantasy, but you're too fucked up to admit it.

You're a simple BDS fuckwit - and no volume of linkage will change the fact that you manufactured a fantasy out of thin air so you could take a swipe. Your subsequent posts are irrelevant ass coverage for your BDS.

It would've been so much more honorable, and excusable, to say, "Yeah, I was over the top - teased it out to make an argument on immigration, but..." -- But noooo, you couldn't do it cuz you're brim-full of your own bile and too much an asshole to back off and fessup. A personal problem unrelated to the article and to Rantburg.

Fuck. Off. Troll. Get. Therapy. Privately.

#10 Pete - Thanx for the link on his highness, heh. Yep. He's been the same monotone here, as well. It is spooky how this breed of jackass gravitates to blogs for their thumb sucking / screeching therapy. I find it amazing that they can't see why reality should get in the way of either getting what they want, immediately, or else the object of their obsession should be run out of town on a rail... and insist on doing it on someone else's hard-won dime / site.

He should start his own blog. His opinions and authoritative voice should make him an internet star overnight. Yewbetcha.

This fuckwit has the same signature approach as Rex and others of the not too distant past, methinks.

Again, thx for the heads up, bro.

#12 Also, if you must use the terminology, you're going to have to resolve the critical question: trollette or trolless for the feminine? or do we follow modern American custom and use the masculine for both male and female (think the disappearance of the word actress). This has repercussions for the entire English-speaking world, so make your arguments carefully!

#13 Two things. What is BDS? I thing 2xs is not yet as bad as on Belmont Club, but if the "S" stands for syndrome, I think the remission was slight and is ending.

TW I still call female administrators administrixes. Some terms are gender neutral by definition and include male, female, eunuch, gay, lexbian, transexual, pedophile and beasitan and the differently inclined; European, for example. We have never said Europeaness. It seems to me troll falls in the same category. I suspect this is because, unlike chickens, you cannot pay anyone enough to sex them.

#17 TW, It's standard form. Amelia Earhart was an aviatrix. I think the usage fell from form when Margaret Chase Smith was the first elected U. S. Senator. I think no one wanted to call her a Senatrix.

#24 tw - You do not know if 2x is male or female. Period. You believe it is a female.

tw / Mrs D. - Look at the story. Tiny little piece of fluff - 6 sentences long. My point was that 2x went into fantasy mode, fabricated an onanistic scenario, and found a way to turn this little dust bunny into some sinister Bush plot. That's classic BDS. I spoke plainly in my first post - and offered an out. I was met with the typical Rex response (#5) - a load of screech and links, but not a word about the fact that none of it was supported by the facts of the story - confirming BDS. IT repeated the pattern in #7.

I said what I meant and meant what I said in #8.

When you've got the troll gender thingy squared away, post a note. Meanwhile...

2x is an asshole - a non-gender-specific term for one who's sphincter muscle is either inoperative or, at the very least, ineffective. It suffers from BDS and I am more than fed up with assholes who are deranged enough to believe that every problem on the planet has a magical genealogy which allows blame to be traced directly back to Bush. Bull. Shit.

Wow. Aren't we getting progressive!

#33 Frank, no arguments here as to Garcia's intelect, heck, I'd like to be the first to shake his hand & then get the autograph. He's achieved the trifecta that so many men dream, yet so few will ever realize.

As far as #1's post goes, I think it looks bad as well. Unfortunately as w/most things in life perception over rides reality. Politics is even worse imho. If Garcia was no longer an ambassador I'd say no biggie, but since he is still one then I'd venture that the average American is going to raise the same questions (& w/some validity). Even if everything's above board it still looks bad. Though I'm not sure how much our Amb to Mex has to do w/actually fixing the illegal immigration problem. I'm not blaming this on the prez as he can't control the personal lives of his 100+ ambassadors, but let's be honest, our policies wrt illegal immigration have sucked. I don't see our congress or wh doing everything they can to curtail it either.

#34 the form depends on whether gender is appropriate. Chair replaces Chairman, cause it dont matter whether a man or woman leads the meeting. Actress, OTOH, should remain, as it makes a HUGE difference if someone, say, casts an actress in the role of Hamlet. Princess should remain, just because.

#35 .com, if I'd disagreed with the points of your post, I'd have said so in tiresome detail, right? 2xstandard made the claim to femininity to Frank, insisting that he refer to the dropped item of clothing as panties rather than pants. (Not vocabulary I use, but there are those who make a linguistic distinction *shrug*) I can't find the thread, otherwise I'd link -- maybe Frank can. Anyway, you are right that such a claim is unverifiable, although if It continues to wank off in public, verification may quickly occur. And we must be impressed that 2xstandard didn't mention Jews, neocons or Israel even once.

#36 I have no relation to double standard. I am a woman. I am not a troll. However these are all good empty insults to tar & feather a person who suggests anything that challenges the Party's' group think.

An open southern border is a far more immediate risk to America's national security than what the mullahs are doing or not doing in Iran. Rowan Scarborough, national security reporter for Washington Times, wrote a recent article on the stealing of weapons by Central American nationals, who then pass along the weapons to terrorists. Mexicans are embracing Islam as religious converts and added to their simmering anti-American sentiments because they perceive our federal gov't supporting a racist oligarchy in Mexico that keeps the majority of them poor, that makes for a bad combination of attitudes to be growing in a region noted for its corruption. Mosques and religious schools are being built in Mexico and other Latin American countries at a rate that has never been seen before. In addition to the co-operation of Hispanics with terrorist types, crime and drug trafficing is spilling across our southern border from Mexico. In the past 6 months 25 Americans have been kidnapped, 2 later were found to be murdered, others are still missing. Just a week ago the State Dept. issued a warning to Americans to curtail travel to Mexico in light of this violence. Then a few days later after US Ambassador Tony Garza met with Mexican gov't officials, Garza back-peddled on the State Dept's warning. Now if you can't see Garza's conflicted loyalties not working to Americans' disadvantage then you all are truly brain dead.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/01/29/us.mx.travel.alert.ap/index.html
"Mexico, U.S. settle spat on border warnings"

I will not retract my comments about the unseemly and inappropriate relationship that our US Ambassador has with Mexico. And I will never conform my reasoned political views to please an unstable personality who hasn't seen a swear word he can't use in a post nor will I stroke the egos of the harpies who support him.

Say ya'.

#37 I couldn't care less about 2x's gender - funny, that's the modern goal, is it not? Total equality? It's an asshole. But I'll certainly grant your points in the last sentence, lol! Seems that the wank-o-matics do only have two targets these days, the Jooos or Bush. Both of whom are more honorable and worthy than the lot of moonbats. I am well and truly fed up with this crap. Facts matter, not fluffy puffy fantasies.

When Bush is actually at fault, fine. But the links don't prove shit most of the time - as often there are hooks on the funding which are typical legislative wanking. For example, sure you can build a new NIS HQ with the latest gear and staff it, but it has to be built in KKK Byrd's W. Virginia - or similar stupidity. All Presidents have the same congressional quagmire to wade through and often find the funding will end up being wasted. A good President won't spend your money just because it has been funded - the legislative specifics often make a joke of the intent and high-sounding bill title.

When Bush doesn't do what common sense tells you he should do, I'd suggest the benefit of the doubt should be offered and looking deeper is called for. People like 2x hear what they want to hear and off they go, screeching at the heavens. One layer deeper and they may find that it made good sense to go back and push for a cleaner bill. But this entire discussion is beside the point of this thread, actually. There is no evidence whatsoever that the US Amb to Mexico has been compromised or his loyalties subverted in any way. Jeez Louise, wotta load of crap when a simple, "Yeah, I was over the top - teased it out to make an argument on immigration, but..." would've sufficed.

#38 2x - You make assertions regards Garza, and by extension Bush, but proved none of it.

No one thinks the immigration laws are being adequately enforced. Unfortunately, wanker, you can't wave a magic wand.

Had you been around more than a few weeks, you'd know that I was the person here who coined the "Friendship Fence" joke - and applied it to both the Southern and Northern borders. Kanada's immigration policy is just as much a threat as Mexico's.

What you want to ignore is reality. Bush can't give you immediate gratification. No one can. Go stew somewhere else if you can't deal with reality.

#41 2x is a most excitable young man. Perhaps he and Sullivan would hit it off.

Seriously, the mexican political elite has largely been corrupted but that's not likely the case among those mexicans who run world-class multinational companies that actually make and export things (instead of just sucking resources out of the earth). If you draw your paycheck from the government or a govt-protected monopoly, sure, you're likely to be part of the problem in mexico. But not if you and your family produce and sell the best kick-ass dark beer this side of Belgium.

Good for Tony Garza. Enjoy your life.

#44 It was 2xstandard's first or second day posting here -- she's calmed down a lot, since. And a couple of our boys stoutly defended my honour, which brought me to tears, it did indeed! And, I accused you of being a gentleman... now do you remember?

Besides, I'm perfectly willing to believe people are what they claim to be. Why, I believe that Mrs. Davis is a wronged woman, and Aris is a Greek university graduate killing time before he is called up for mandatory military service, which he does not anticipate with great pleasure. My little brain isn't clever enough to hold all the doubting details.

Separately, I wonder if the new Senora Aramburuzabala-Garza plans to take American citizenship? I don't believe in dual citizenship, myself, for all that Daddy never let go of his Israeli passport... and paid double taxes on a professor's salary as a result (in those days Israeli taxes were confiscatory at best. But what's money when there's a principle involved?). But surely, conflict of interest concerns would then go away re: the Ambassador's loyalty. Especially as it appears from the photo that she is old enough that all of her children were born long since, so their citizenship is not in play.

#50 Ah, TGA. You wouldn't say that if you'd ever washed down some pollo en mole with a Bohemia. But then I'm half Mexican, so I guess I'm partial.

#51 Thank you for your confidence TW. We weaker vessels must stick together. Unity in numbers, that sort of thing. Especially in a testosterone saturated environment like the Burg.

I'll have a Negra Modela.

#52 Mrs. Davis, I mean no offense but weaker vessels my ass! My housekeeper, Connie the Short Bus Lady, really makes me toe the line. Negra Modelo is a fine beer. I guess Negra Modela would be femimine and a Modelo would be masculine.

#53 ...And to add to the magic of this image, our Mexican-American Ambassador announces his engagement to a Spanish-blooded oligarch in Mexico...

"I say, seems old Jeeves in our Congo office has gone native. He's living with a gorilla."

"Boy or girl gorilla?"

"Girl. Jeeves may be mad, but he's not queer."

#54 Of course we shall stick together, dear Mrs. D. And we'll allow the menfolk to continue thinking of themselves as the stronger vessels, if that makes them happy. Especially as the strongest vessels get to hold the most beer, while the more delicate ones get the brandy and the tequila (to stay on theme here). Besides, Mr. Wife may have married me for my brains, as he is wont to say, but he fell for my one-armed push ups (really, truly, true! He used to call me over to demonstrate the technique when one of the boys on his dorm hall would get uppity ;-) *sigh* ahh for the days of my youth).
