Sadly, there is a small inconsistency in the otherwise well put report: Zapatero is not "the president", the title should be translated as the prime minister.

I was going to give this 4 stars, but the last line, "McCain called for a return to an America where you can slap your secretary on the ass without anyone making a big deal out of it", almost made me fall out of my chair. So it gets five.
