Spanish politicians…

… love Real Madrid players.  It’s a fact.  (And who can blame them?)

Last October, the Spanish minister of defense Carme Chacón greeted Sergio Ramos in this way.

Yesterday, I talked about Esperanza Aguirre and her affection for Cristiano Ronaldo (this picture is from their first meeting in February).

Even the men are not immune – here we have Spanish president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero throwing his own adoring glance at Iker last October (despite the fact that he is a professed Barça fan – doesn’t that mean he should be directing his attention towards Puyol?)  I mean, he never smiles this big or looks this animated ever.  I guess he’s usually busy trying to think of ways to hinder save the Spanish economy.
