This won't end well, watch for the media crackdowns and people suddenly going poof. And soon.

Stuff it, you **** tater. You need a bullet in that ****ed up brain of yours.

I guess Fenian's job as Chavez' Minister of Justice will be put on hold?

C'mon this guy has provided more humour since Bagdhad Bob.

I can't believe he hasn't blamed America yet. What's the hold-up?

Press conference at 2:00

Too bad I'll be at work.
I think, out of general principle, Comedy Central should carry it.

Yes, it certainly is time to be installing our own damn dictator down there.
Whoops. Democracy broke out.
What a concept.

Yes, but when Democracy breaks out in lieu of a left wing socialist love-in, whatcha gonna do, F_B?

Yes, because the mucking around with an abortive coup had absolutely nothing to do with Chavez'z re-election last time. Our committment to democracy in that part of the world, as you know, 'yab, extends only to those mandarins who do not inconvenience us. Chavez declined to be Allende.
And anyone who doesn't think there was some American money mixed in this campaign is fooling themselves.

You know what I've been thinking lately? That the US ought to be more like China when it comes to foreign policy, total self interest. What ever makes China richer & stronger is how China conducts itself.

Are you implying that the US has not been doing that?

And, in the case of Latin America, and Latin America only, how is that different from our historical performance?

Maybe we should have sided with the drug dealers?

I was glad to see the election result. However, that doesn't mean I'm in the mood to hear all the hooting and braying from people who only like democracy when it votes out people they don't want in office.

If anyone currently exulting in Chavez' defeat has been committed to Latin American democracy throughout the years- this means opposing U.S.-backed dictatorships in Chile, Guatemala, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic to name a few- then exult away. If you've supported or turned a blind eye toward right-wing thugs in the past, STFU. A thug is a thug, right or left, period. Consistency, por favor.

Excellent post. People like Chavez (or Castro, for that matter) could not rise to power if not for the abuses of people before them.

Didn't we do that, too?

I think we played both sides against our selves
