Have you ever been to Venezuela? Do you know anything about that country? I doubt it.
Just because Chavez hated Bush doesn't make him less of an idiot, or simply a corrupt dictator controlling every single job in the country.
If you are not a Chavista you can't get a decent job in Venezuela.
Welcome to Nuevo Cuba.
There is more to leading a country than ridiculing the Shrub, and Chavez was, and his protoge will be a dismal failure for the majority of Venezuelans.
Think about it. Chavez controlled ALL media in Venezuela. A L L - M E D I A. Could you imagine having an election here with only Fox News, and Rush Limbaugh on the tv and radio 24 / 7? No one else?
