Merged Hugo Chavez Esta Muerto

[Peephole]

Good night, sweet prince. To that great Satan in the sky.

(Yes, I know that doesn't make sense on a lot of levels.)

Awww, my condolences to Sean Penn.

I'm not saying that the Americans used their cancer ray guns, but I'm not saying they didn't.

He caught the cancer from Willie "Keymaster" Rodriguez

Don't worry, the Venezuelans are already on the case

Some day, [Vice President Nicolas Maduro] told the press in a lengthy statement, there will be "scientific proof" that Chavez, fighting a battle with cancer, was poisoned.

Seriously???

And March 5 is the anniversary of Stalin's Death. Not a good day for Marxist Dictators, though what Hugo did was petty compared to Uncle Joe's crimes.

That's true. Stalin killed something like 20 million people.

Chavez killed...

Actually I have no idea how many. What are the latest stats on that?

Cancer is a bigger enemy.

 

[fuelair]

Certainly could have happened to a nicer guy - but I am glad it didn't!!!

 

[Bill Thompson]

I still say cancer is a bigger enemy. We should put asside our differences and fight that enemy.

When I heard of this death, this is my only thought. Cancer sucks.

Besides, I thought most people here are leftists. No?

 

[Mike!]

I'd call this a successful test of the new Cancer Ray. It's just like a good old fashioned Death Ray, just not as fast acting.

Not me, I'm right-handed.

 

[Spindrift]

Seriously???

I think the bigger question is: Will he run for president again?

 

[Ziggurat]

Chavez is dead!

Am I a still a liberal if I admit I didn't care for Chavez one bit?

The twits at The Nation on Chavez.

“I’m what they call a useful idiot when it comes to Hugo Chávez,”

Chávez was a strongman. He packed the courts, hounded the corporate media, legislated by decree and pretty much did away with any effective system of institutional checks or balances. But I’ll be perverse and argue that the biggest problem Venezuela faced during his rule was not that Chávez was authoritarian but that he wasn’t authoritarian enough. It wasn’t too much control that was the problem but too little.

Really? How?

In the UK civil servants are chosen by civil servants not ministers.

You just claimed that the politics doesn't have virtually any control over the functions of the state, even though it has the power to to pretty much anything with it.

Yes. Is there something about this observation that upsets you?

 

[geni]

Chavez is dead!

You are assuming there is going to be a stable transfer of power.

Is it true that the US is sending Joe Kennedy and Dennis Rodman to the funeral?
