Ugh. And people thought Castro's 4+ hour speeches were bad.

I would recommend the slyly titled "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" for those who wish to get a concise insight on how this guy operates and how the U.S. managed to continue its glorious run of being complete shiateheads in Latin America.

It includes had some great footage of this guy's Super Sabado-esque show. The best parts are when he drags out advisors and military figures and grills/browbeats them live on the show. They generally look like they're going to drop a trouser brick. It's pretty intense stuff, imagine a Jerry Lewis Telethon, except with improved policy decisions rather than improved compliments but it's even more stilted.

America should be treated to a four day Obamapalooza on all media outlets.

There will be riots in the streets.

Heh... Since Castro left the public scene, Chavez has filled the "Crazy Piss-Pot Dictator" role quite well.

Doubt I'd want to live under his "Revolutionary Government", but he's great for comic relief.

I loved when he complained that the podium still smelled like sulfur when he spoke after Bush at the U.N.

I'm sure his radio broadcasts are hysterical, too.

Yes, BRAP, because we know our country forces all these other countries to be led by swine-screwing dictators...

Chavez is a tireless talker who uses frequent television appearances to make policy announcements, berate opponents...

sounds familiar.

What really irks me about Chavez is how he nationalized his nation's oil industry. Who does he think he is, trying to ensure that the country's resources belong to the people of Venezuela? What an asshole!

And what's with sending free heating oil to poor Americans? This guy is obviously some kind of farking prick!

And don't even get me started on how he uses Venezuela's military to work on rebuilding poor communities. This guy needs to be assassinated.

He's secretly in love with him. It's pretty obvious.

GoldSpider: brainiac-dumdum: Chavez was democratically elected.

His election, while criticized as being less than 100% transparent, was ultimately deemed fair.

Quite unlike Saddam Husayn.

You can still think he's an asshole though.

Maybe it's wrong, but I just don't care about Chavez. He's a dictator and I don't like it that people are oppressed, but he's not the most evil tyrant in the world. There are worse places than Venezuela.

You aren't wrong at all. Truth be told, Chavez is not at all as bad as he's made to look. I disagree with a lot of what he does too, but the way he's demonized is really, really annoying.

you should photoshop Obama in a long-sleeve red shirt to really get yer point across.

Chavez, who keeps his energy levels high with multiple cups of coffee

Yeah. right. Coffee.

Since he his bipolar, I am curious to see if after 4 days straight his 'high' suddenly swings to a 'low' and he will start bawling on television.

well they belonged to the venezuelan people since 1976. just not the right kind of people, I guess!

Hooligan32

good question. what is with sending free resources to poor people in america who enjoy a standard of living 10x's higher then the poor of venezuala to score political points with idiots like you while the poorest of the poor continue to rot. shouldn't he be selling that oil to earn more income for his poor country?

you a big fan of the zimbabwe approach to the economy i see? take a look at how mugabe "took back the land for the people" and you'll see where venezuala is heading.

people cheered on mugabe too.

After the major oil firms spent billions of dollars on building facilities that could refine the heavy oil from the Orinoco region Chavez nationalized them.

If the people of Venezuela want to keep their resources then they should pay for the extraction facilities themselves instead of resorting to stealing.

He's enough of a dick that he managed to piss of Juan Carlos of Spain, a guy that is normally pretty quiet and even tempered.
