Corazon Attack
(Props to Monty)
Or
Corazon Aquino Has Left the Planet
(Additional accolades for Monty)
Corazon Aquino, who rode to power in the Philippines as part of a popular coup over legally elected president Ferdinand Marcos, has died of colon cancer at the age of 76. The benevolent Marcos had governed the island nation, with Imelda, his humble wife of simple tastes, for 20 years when the people took to the streets in 1986 to replace him with manipulative usurper Aquino, who played on sympathies after her husband Benigno was accidentally killed by several bullets to the head after returning from exile. With Aquino blazing the trail for setting aside elections, the Phillipines have since seen two more attempted coups, including a successful one in 2001.
