This is sort of odd and seems to somewhat mirror the political climate here. I bet Bushco would love to rename the Republican Party the Popular Party since it no longer resembles what was once thought to be the GOP. PP indeed!

The outgoing Spanish Government are threatening to sue director Pedro Almodóvar, after he accused it of planning a "coup". The Oscar-winner alleged the Popular Party tried to postpone last Sunday's general election - in which they were defeated - with demonstrations outside their Madrid HQ to help them stay in power. Proclaiming himself happy the party had lost office, Almodóvar, who won a best Screenplay Oscar in 2003 for Hable Con Ella, said at a press conference to promote his new movie Bad Education on Tuesday, "We were on the point of having a PP coup d'etat. The PP will bring a complaint before the appropriate courts. "I am very happy to begin again a life in a united and free country where democracy has returned." But his comments have incensed party supporters - four thousand rallied outside the party's headquarters on Wednesday, denouncing Almodóvar's film, which deals with sexual harassment in a religious school, as an attack on the Catholic Church. The party are reportedly prepared to sue.
