Rigoberta Menchu is in town and the local paper is waxing rhapsodic about her, giving not so much as a hint of the fraudulent autobiography scandal attached to her name.
It's like writing about Courtney Love and leaving out the drugs.
UPDATE:
And here I thought everybody knew about Rigoberta's own version of a magic hat /Christmas in Cambodia whopper. And she doesn't just lie about one period in life -- she's bullshitting about decades.
Fake but accurate, I suppose they would say.

I'm just happy to be able to add my few words to the huge pile of fraud posts that come up when you Google that woman's name.
Not everyone knows that Roberta is a fraud...maybe a letter to the paper?
