VP Baldetti assaulted in Guatemala

As you've probably heard by now, Guatemalan Vice President Roxanna Baldetti was hit with an unknown powder during President Otto Perez Molina's state of the nation address on Tuesday.

Baldetti was taken to the hospital because she was having difficulty breathing. Given that people thought that she had been hit with flour, they started making a joke out of her predicament. However, it turned out that she was actually hit with lime.

Perez and Baldetti did not have a good year in 2013 but I can't say that assaulting her with lime, or even flour for that matter, is anything other than a criminal act.
