...for Zapatero, who has been shafted, but also...
From the verb encular, to sodomise in somewhat more colourful language.

I didn\'t know the bit about Carod Rovira, but in that case you could easily add \"...BY Carod Rovira,...\"

If you wanted to stress just how humilliated hes been you could add \"well and truly (shafted)\"

No es la tradución a palabra por palabra pero es el termino más utilisado en inglés por ese tipo de insulta.

: The article in question is clearly talking about ZP being sodomised by Carod Rovira. The asker should have given us the URL (http://blogia.com/arroeta/index.php?dia=20041120)

asshole
I'd say "not only for that asshole Zapatero, but also for ...". I think this is rather like one would use "gilipollas" and is not meant as literally as some of the others have suggested.

ass-screwed
Enculado in Spanish means exactly that. Fucked in the ass. It is an insult, of course, and it can be translated with another, similar humiliating term. But that is what it means; that and nothing else.

vexed/upset
It depends on the source of the text. *Enculado* means offended/angry in Argentina, so you may find a more sarcastic expression, which I can't think of at the moment, in that direction. It's quite colloquial here and in no sense offensive.

the expression comes from \"cara de culo\", which means arse face (ugly), which is what you look like when you are upset.

Gracias, Cecilia, me parece que hay que interpretarlo en este sentido, si hubiera más contexto.
