La Pequeña as Mother Theresa and Ingrid Betancourt Pulecio

I love that I have no idea what he/she is saying, that makes it that much more brilliant! 



And here's one as Ingrid Betancourt Pulecio:


Ingrid Betancourt Pulecio is a Colombian-French politician, former senator and anti-corruption activist. Betancourt was kidnapped by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) on February 23, 2002, and rescued from captivity six and a half years later in Operation Jaque, along with 14 other hostages (three Americans and 11 Colombian policemen and soldiers), by Colombian security forces on July 2, 2008, who tricked the FARC into believing they were a leftist non-governmental organization.

In all, she was held captive for 2,321 days after being taken while campaigning for the Colombian presidency as a Green. She had decided to campaign in an area of high guerrilla presence in spite of warnings from the government, police and military not to do so. While her kidnapping received media coverage worldwide this was particularly so in France due to her dual French citizenship, and the government of France participated as a facilitator for the release of Betancourt and all prisoners held by the FARC guerrillas.
