Beija Flor crowned Rio carnival winners with dig at corruptionTraditional samba school Beija Flor was crowned winner of the Rio carnival Wednesday after a performance that portrayed politicians as rats with money-stuffed briefcases in sharply political parades. Superstar drag queen Pabllo Vittar appeared in the last parade with Beija Flor in the wee hours of Tuesday. Second-placed Paraiso do Tuiuti also had a sharply satirical theme, depicting conservative President Michel Temer perched on a sackful of money -- in keeping with a parade filled with unusually strong criticism of the country's leaders.
