Portugal's bail-out: Sócrates's poison | The Economist:PORTUGUESE voters listening to José Sócrates, the caretaker prime minister, announcing a €78 billion ($116 billion) bail-out deal from the European Union and the IMF this week may have thought it was a campaign broadcast for the June 5th election.
