SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) - Eneas Carneiro, a three-time presidential candidate who was later elected to Congress with the largest number of votes ever received by a Brazilian lawmaker, died Sunday of leukemia, according to Congress' Web site. He was 68.
Carneiro, a cardiologist known for his bushy black beard, huge glasses and bald pate, gained fame for his television campaign ads which featured high-speed tirades and always ended with him yelling "My name is Eneas!"
Founder of the right-wing Party for Rebuilding the National Order, he talked loudly about law and order, and supported the idea that Brazil should develop an atomic bomb.
