From NBC's Pete Williams
NBC's Chris Donovan points out that Puerto Rico's governor, Aníbal Acevedo Vilá, who was indicted today and charged with election law violations, is a Democratic party superdelegate who has endorsed Obama.

Gov. Acevedo Vilá and 12 of his supporters are accused of getting Puerto Rico businessmen to make illegal, unreported contributions to pay off debts from previous campaigns -- debts he never reported, another potential violation.

Anibal Acevedo Vila eres un Pillo verdadero! Here you go America Puerto Rico is full of it too! Corruption is everywhere at least here in America including Puerto Rico if you get caught you go to jail! This guy is a Democrat anti-American Obama supporter. Anibal was dirty and we always knew this in Puerto Rico but, lots of ignorant people and privious let down by the past administration gave way for this idiot to become governor of such beautiful place. Anibal is a looser and a lier! Hey Anibal if you saw Pedro now ask him who is the pillo now? Puerto Rico 51

Wondering how the 'John Doe' calling for Jews, Italians and Whites to unite and vote for HillBilly can breathe underneath that white hood. Oh yes, he must be getting ventilation for all of the hot air that he's spewing from the eye holes that he's cut in his pillowcase. You are truly pathetic, and a real waste of space.
