The front-runner in Mexico's presidential race stumbled in a high-profile way at a world-class book festival on Saturday, when, over several minutes,
he appeared unable to correctly name a book that's influenced his life, besides the Bible.
He also confused the names of two well-known Mexican authors, Enrique Krauze and Carlos Fuentes, in a four-minute episode that ended with the
candidate red-faced, saying, "The truth is, when I read a book I often don't fully register the titles."
Peña Nieto's gaffe at the Guadalajara International Book Fair -- a deeply respected cultural platform in Mexico that is billed as Latin America's
largest literary event -- continued resonating on Monday, with Peña Nieto defending himself in several tweets.
Adding to the embarrassment, Peña Nieto's teen daughter, Paulina, used a slur and a separate offensive term for poor people while defending her dad in
two late-night tweets. Paulina's Twitter profile has since disappeared, and her father issued an apology Monday morning.
The episode has sparked a flurry of reaction on social-networking sites, including satirical "trending topics" on Twitter, such as #LibreríaPeñaNieto,
or "Peña Nieto's Bookstore." Users are inventing the titles of books the candidate has "read" full of political mocking and double or triple meaning.

This is what his daughter twittered:

A greeting to the bunch of @ssholes, who make up the spawn and only criticize those they envy!
