http://news.yahoo.com/brother-critic-chief-ecuadors-correa-152525139.htmlThe most outspoken critic of Ecuador's leftist president is a tall, folksy businessman who is getting lots of attention for publicly ridiculing Rafael Correa and his inner circle with jokes, songs and satiric mimicry.
If it were anyone else, President Correa might be suing for slander, as he's done with several journalists. But sue your older brother?
Other presidential critics have bigger followings, but none hits harder at the charismatic but prickly leftist leader than the man with whom he shared a less than charmed childhood.
Fabricio Correa also shares his brother's green eyes, his roughly 6-foot stature and his tendency to hyperbolic language. He says his brother's "21st-century socialism" is really "totalitarian and statist ... Strictly speaking, it's a fascism of the Adolf Hitler type, the Mussolini type, the Chavez type."
