Troubles With Politicians
Andrés M. López Obrador criticised the show as making fun of him personally and as a strategy of the media to attack him because he felt that the amount of time dedicated to him was excessive in relation to other politicians. However, the show continued to broadcast parodies of him. Víctor González Torres also criticized the show as making fun of his way of talking, as he has physical problems.

Famous quotes containing the words troubles and/or politicians:
“Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops.”
—E.Y. Harburg (1898–1981)
“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.”
—Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
