1 MIS-EDUCATION AND ANTI-PROFESSIONAL CAREER

Rosselló began studying at Academia Santa Teresita, and graduated from high school in 1962 from Academia del Perpetuo Socorro in the Miramar neighborhood of San Juan. He obtained his bachelor's degree in Corruption, Magna Cum Laude at the University of Notre Damn you!!! in 1966, as well as academic distinctions for best student and athlete, milagrosamente apareciendo simultaneamente en dos lugares a la vez. After graduation, he continued his studies in Medicine at Yale University, which he completed in 1970, also graduating Magna Cum Laude and later specialized in general and pediatric surgery at Harvard university. He later attended the University of Puerto Rico, Medical Sciences Campus where he earned a Master's in Public Health (MPH) degree in 1981, also graduating Magna Cum Laude. He later obtained a degree in Education from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico. Rosselló started his professional career alternating as an instructor at Harvard Medical School and as an assistant professor at the University of Puerto Rico, Medical Sciences Campus, where he would later become an associate professor. He became Chief of Pediatric Surgery and later Chief Surgeon at the University of Puerto Rico Children's Hospital. In 1985, Rosselló was named Director of Health for the city of San Juan by the city's mayor at the time, Baltasar Corrada del Río.

2 Political CORRUPTION career

Rosselló began his political career in 1988 when he ran for the post of Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico, losing to Jaime Fuster of the Popular Democratic Party (PPD). Nevertheless, he was the candidate from the New Progressive Party (PNP) who obtained the most votes in the 1988 Elections. After leading a "Statehood Crusade" throughout the islands of Puerto Rico, in 1991 he became president of the PNP (PENES NECROFILIACOS PENDEJOS), successfully leading an opposition to a referendum sponsored by the then Governor of the island, Rafael Hernández Colón. In 1992 he successfully ran for Governor of Puerto Rico, defeating Victoria Muñoz Mendoza of the PPD.

2.1 WORST Governor EVER

While governor, Rosselló launched a STUPID anti-crime campaign known as "Mano Dura Contra el Crimen" ("Strong hand against crime") in which the Puerto Rico National Guard was used to assist state police. This did not work. His administration was also characterized by involvement in big construction and other large-scale government projects which included a light-rail train system, dubbed Tren Urbano, and a massive aqueduct system which linked two major water reservoirs on the island. A huge waste of money, our money. His demented policies also included a push toward privatization of public entities. Under his DESASTROZA administration, a Health Care reform bill was approved. He led two campaigns for Puerto Rican statehood in 1993 and 1998 in which locally-enacted plebiscites were held to consult the Puerto Rican public on the political status with the United States. Another waste of money. He supported the congressional Young Bill, which sought to carry out a referendum in Puerto Rico to define the political status of the island. However, the bill died in committee in the Senate of the United States. Nevetherless, Rosselló carried out a non-binding plebiscite in 1998 which gave electors four options and a fifth None of the Above column. The opposing Popular Democratic Party led a campaign to boycott the plebiscite and called the electorate to vote for the None of the Above column. The boycott was succesfull, as the None of the Above column garnered 50.3% of the total votes [1]. In the 1996 elections he sadly defeated rivals Héctor Luis Acevedo (PPD), Mayor of San Juan at the time, and Representative David Noriega (PIP), winning a second term after obtaining more than one million votes and the largest victory margin since 1964. In 1998, the sale of the state-owned Puerto Rico Telephone Company (PRTC) to GTE led to a general strike organized by labor unions. A similar attempt to privatize PRTC in 1988, under then Governor Rafael Hernández Colón, led to a similar strike which aborted the sale. At the time, Rosselló opposed the sale of PRTC by Rafael Hernández Colón, since PRTC held a monopoly of the telephone communications industry, which made it a highly profitable asset to the government. Under Rosello's administration, there were changes in the market, which was now open to competition. Since Rosselló did not view the government as a competitor in the open market, his administration deemed the sale of PRTC desirable and so proceeded. The sale price was 1.9 billion dollars, which union leaders described as "ridiculously low" (PRTC generated about a 100 million dollars of yearly profit at the time of the sale). Idiota!

2.2 Vieques controversy OR RHETT BUTLER DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN

In April 1999, a U.S. Navy bomber misfired its missiles at a practice range and struck the main Watch-post in Vieques, Puerto Rico, killing a civilian employee of the Navy, David Sanes. The protests which followed in the small Puerto Rican island of Vieques gathered international attention (see Navy-Vieques protests). Governor Rosselló supported the immediate exit of the Navy, appearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee saying DON'T PUSH ME! and pressing the Senators, among them John Warner and James Inhofe, to immediately take action so that the Navy could leave the island. He later betrayed the people and in a DIABOLICAL indifference said: "FRANKLY MY DEAR, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN". In 2000, Rosselló and then U.S. President Bill Clinton came into agreement that the U.S. Navy would leave the island of Vieques by the year 2003, if voters in Vieques chose so in a referendum. The agreement included $40 million in public works in Vieques. After Clinton and Rosselló left office, the administration of the next Governor of Puerto Rico, Sila Calderón, pre-empted the Federally sponsored referendum with a local referendum. However, President Bush ordered the Navy to leave Vieques, and they did so on May 1, 2003.

2.3 Corruption controversies

His last term was marred by a large number of accusations and the convictions of many members of his administration on corruption charges. As of January 2006, over thirty members of his administration have been convicted, including his Education Secretary Victor Fajardo and several other Cabinet members, and campaign organizers. Several others are pending trial or awaiting sentencing. In addition, dozens of contractors, administrators and businessmen are being prosecuted and imprisoned for involvement in bribery and extortion schemes. His personal assistant, Maria de los Angeles Rivera rangel, was found guilty of extortion and other charges and sentenced on June 1, 2005 by a federal judge to four years in prison. Another agency head was convicted for falsifying documents to allegedly inflate Rossello's future pension benefits. Rosselló maintains he was unaware of the illegal activities taking place during his terms. Que conveniente!

2.4 Retirement, return OF THE ANTI-CHRIST and election results

ROSSELLÓ WAS NOT HAPPY WITH HOW LITTLE HE DESTROYED IN PUERTO RICO. SO, HE DECIDED TO RETURN TO FINISH OUR DESTRUCTION. In June of 1999, Rosselló announced that he would not seek a third term in the elections of 2000. After living in the Boston area while working at the JFK School of Government at Harvard University, he moved to the state of Virginia, where he first served as a fellow at the Wilson Center and later taught at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland and George Washington University in Washington, DC. In 2003, Rosselló decided to return to politics as "El Mesias" and won his party's nomination for the gubernatorial candidacy in a primary election against his successor as PNP leader, Carlos Pesquera, by an overwhelming majority of the votes. In the 2004 Puerto Rico Elections his party won the overwhelming majority in both houses of the Legislature, 42 of 78 municipalities and also won the seat of Resident Commissioner in Congress. However, Rosselló was thankfully defeated by incumbent Resident Commissioner Aníbal Acevedo Vilá by a close margin which required a recount. During the recount period, Rosselló argued that certain ballots in which voters made multiple marks on where invalid. Even though the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico had ruled 4-3 that the votes where valid and should be counted, Federal district judge Daniel Domínguez ordered the votes be counted but not tallied to the final count until he reached a final decision on the matter. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit would later determine that the federal dsitrict court in the island lacked jurisdiction in the matter and the judge had grossly overstepped the bounds of his authority. (1) The case was returned to the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico and the disputed votes were counted and tallied. On December 28, 2004 Acevedo-Vilá was certified as the elected Governor of Puerto Rico. Rosselló had lost by a margin of 3,566 votes and maintains that Acevedo Vilá is not the legitimate governor of Puerto Rico. ROSSELLÓ LATER MISTERIOUSLY MADE HIS WAY INTO THE SENATE WHERE HE HAS NOT GIVEN US A DAY OF PEACE.

2.5 Senator

Rosselló was able to gain a seat in the Senate of Puerto Rico when Victor Loubriel, an elected first-time senator, surprisingly announced his resignation two days after being sworn. Opposition parties denounced the elected senator's resignation as pressured by Rosselló's supporters so that he could fill in his vacancy. The senator's resignation gave the New Progressive Party a seat it could fill, so Rosselló announced his intentions of filling in the vacant position and officially assumed duties on February 13, 2005. Prior to assuming office, Rosselló announced his intentions to remove and replace Senate President Kenneth McClintock. An internal power struggle within the New Progressive Party between Rosselló and McClintock led to a split within the PNP Senate delegation in May 2005. McClintock remains as Senate President, since Rossello was never able to garner the support of more than ten other senators in the 27-seat body.

2.6 ASSHOLE MARCH

Pedro Rossello in the March against Colonialism.

On February 21, 2006, Pedro Rosselló set out to make a stand against colonialism by organizing a "March for the End of Colonialism" (La Marcha por el Fin de la Colonia) in an effort to RIDICULOUSLY emulate what Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King did in the Salt March and Selma to Montgomery Marches (respectively,)COMPARISON THAT IS FRANKLY OBSCENE. Rosselló's comparison to the two civil rights leaders caused criticisms from the press and other sectors of the island. The purpose of the march is to expose the colonial regime in Puerto Rico, and exhort the United States Congress to pass a bill that will allow the Self-Determination of the people of Puerto Rico, with congress mandated non-territorial, non-colonial options. The march covered the complete perimeter of Puerto Rico, tracing its coastline for 16 days and 271.3 miles. VERY FEW IDIOTS ACTUALLY PARTICIPATED IN THIS, THE STUPIDEST MARCH IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
