Paraguay President's baby eruptions

NY Times:

The baby jokes just keep coming.

Fernando Lugo, the former priest who is now the country’s president, shocked the nation last month by admitting to fathering one child — and possibly more — before the Vatican had returned him to layman status.

Now the Internet here is buzzing with an irreverent video showing him in a baby carriage, magically impregnating each woman he passes on the street. A popular television show in neighboring Argentina has dedicated a tango to him and recommended that he use contraception. A local cumbia song is even mocking his campaign slogan.

“The playboy has heart, but he doesn’t use a condom,” goes the refrain, playing on the slogan that helped get him elected, “Lugo has heart.”

Even his closest advisers say they were stunned and dismayed by the revelations — and cannot rule out the possibility of more secret babies turning up.

“He isn’t sure, so we can’t be sure of exactly what could be coming,” said Miguel López Perito, his chief of staff and a close friend, speaking about the current paternity claims and any others.

“He didn’t open up about this issue to me,” he said. “I respected that, as he is not a person who talks about his personal life. Although I knew this could explode at any moment, I never knew specifically what was out there.”

...

Since news broke last month about a 2-year-old that the president has recognized as his, two other women have come forward with similar assertions. One woman is awaiting DNA test results to confirm paternity and says that Mr. Lugo, now 57, was still a bishop when they became involved, when she was 18.

The mother of the boy he did accept as his, Viviana Carrillo, originally said in a court filing that she was only 16 when they first had sex, but appeared to change her story recently to avoid statutory rape charges against Mr. Lugo.

...

His breach of trust with teenage women is as bad as the priests who were abusing boys in the US. Abusing ones position for sex is just wrong. It may be funny on some levels, but Lugo is not a person to be trusted with the government of a country. On top of that he is a believer in the failed policies of socialism.
