ANTIGUA, Guatemala (Reuters) - A U.S. congressman married the daughter of Guatemala's most notorious former dictator on Saturday in a controversial wedding that took place in a high-walled compound ringed with razor wire.

Illinois Rep. Jerry Weller tied the knot with Guatemalan lawmaker Zury Rios Sosa in the compound, just off a dusty road between a building site and a volcano near Guatemala's colonial capital Antigua.

Republicans just love those dictators. The people of Joliet, Illinois should be very proud of themselves for re-electing this guy.

This is really pathetic. Republicans would be howling, and rightfully so, if a Dem married a daughter of Castro.
