Hairy Toad
I wonder if it is a common practice in other countries for the big press to call the president names like “sapo barbudo” (hairy toad). Or is it just a sign of prejudice against an uneducated president born in the poor northeast?

may be bearded toad???
Making fun of the president is a common practice is the States and Bearded toad is MILD compared to what they call President Bush.
Are you offended because you are a supporter or because you are from the Northeast. Or were you not offended at all?
I just don’t remember the New York Times, or the Washington Post, calling an American president with similar language. (Not that FSP is by any means comparable to NYT or the Post … ) Any examples will be very much appreciated!
I wasn’t offended… I just wondered if similar derogatory treatment was common practice outside Brazil, or for a Brazilian president other than Lula.
