I mean, you've got the military, the supreme court, the congress, and the guy's own party pretty much in agreement that he overstepped his bounds so far that he had to be removed from office. That seems more than a bit more of a consensus that I associate with typical third world coups.

Agreed. I don't think there is too much uproar about this in Honduras. Most of the yapping is coming from Cuba and Venezuela. Doesn't sound like this Pelaya guy would've had much chance anyway if he were allowed to run for reelection.
If the military is simply facilitating somebody else finishing his term (less than one year) and elections being held on schedule, it's really no big deal.
