Chavez death watch.

The next few days are full of uncertainty, but there are a few things I know.

1. Whatever we do, however much we restrain ourselves, as much as we show respect for the passing of the President, chavistas will cut and paste the few signs of happiness (I’m looking at you, Plaza Altamira) and play them over and over again, saying the opposition is happy, dancing in the street.

2. The funeral will be massive. Presidents will fly in from all over – Belarus, Iran, all over Latin America. There will be celebrities galore – Sean Penn, Danny Glover, etc. The military will be in full regalia. It will be an apotheosis like nothing we have ever seen.

3. The election will be called, and it will be held sooner than we think.

4. The country’s economy will not collapse in the meantime. We will go into the election facing very similar conditions to the ones we faced in October. The fiscal spigot still has life in it.

5. The Chávez girls will begin playing a larger role in public life, a la Sonia Gandhi.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye.

Premature Postulation

zero is in DC to throw switches and pull levers.

What?

You really think he's just a Kenyan asshole?

[Delta Dawn]

I sure hope Hillary pulls through, I don’t think that the world could survive the death of a dictator and a leftist liberal from Venezuela at the same time.

Wow! Wine sure lasts a long time in your house!

[Cuttnhorse]

It's how my people mourn.

LOL! Our people have similar customs.

6. Must show devastating sadness and mourning at his loss to keep from being shot, ala Kim Jong Ill.

He shouldn’t have to go alone. He needs to take more of his despot friends with him.

[fhayek]

Well, it’s not wine. It’s bourbon.

[righttackle44]

Ha, ha. You dirty guy. Good one.

Chavez may soon leave but his dictatorship will live on....

Maybe Fidel would be kind enough to accompany his dear friend. It would bring on quite a celebration to have Fidel and Hugo shuffle off their mortal coils hand in hand.

The short line will be the one with all the foreign communists paying their respects to their departed comrade. The longer line will be the one with all the Venezuelans waiting to pi$$ on his grave.

Chavez: "You are a devil, you smell like sulfur, you are a drunk, you are the demon, you are a dictator, you are an assassin Mr. Devil, you are..."

Bush: "YEAH, Yeah, yeah, WHATever... just fill'er up MonkeyBoy!!!"

I hope those two will enjoy the Squirrel Nut Zippers...

OMG it read CaracassChronicles.com for the link, and I thought it read Carcass...., and was laughing.

Terrible of me.

[Slyfox]

...then, all of a sudden Chavez got cancer.

I wish I could say RIP to a nice fella. But I can only say good riddance to bad rubbish.

Wish the US was so lucky.
