PM Zapatero says no chance Spain will need bailout

MADRID (AP) — Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said Friday there was no chance Spain would seek a bailout.

Have you considered avoiding the use of the word "bailout" for a few weeks? That might work.

Spain's Crisis

Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has admitted that the economy has entered into a 'crisis,' after avoiding that word for weeks.

The State of Denial

Zapatero belatedly used the word "crisis" to describe the country's situation last month, touching a nerve with Spaniards...

Okay, okay. Maybe that won't work. Let's try a different angle instead.

Perhaps you could let Rafael Pacheco and David Taguas do all the talking? They both had economic denial down to a dismal science. Perhaps they've still got the touch.

Fine Print Disclaimer:

A sarcastic reference to "they've still got the touch" might mean "touching a nerve" but certainly not a nerve within one's "junk". We're talking about "proud" Spaniards here, not "patriotic" Americans.


A sarcastic reference to "patriotic" is intended for those who see themselves as defenders "against presumed interference by the federal government" especially in regards to "individual rights". It is not intended for TSA workers or those who voted for the Patriot Act.
