Normality Reigns in Venezuela, Minister Assures (Chavez sick or dead?)
Prensa Latina ^ | May 30

Posted on 05/30/2005 4:26:56 PM PDT by baystaterebel

Caracas, May 30 (Prensa Latina) Venezuela´s Communication and Information Minister Andres Izarra assured Monday normality is reigning in the country and President Hugo is perfectly well and working on his agenda.

In telephone statements for Globovision, Izarra denied rumors questioning Chavez´ health after not attending a march in Caracas Saturday, and suspending his habitual Sunday program Alo Presidente.

Izarra said that once informed of the situation, the president asked him to contact those in Miraflores and say he was fine.

Chavez is "simply spending time with his family, as is the right of any human being. Nothing out of the ordinary is happening," the minister stated, noting those rumors probably came from sectors interested in destabilizing the population.

"I hope he is in heaven now.'

He is a communist, usually they go to the other stop on the train.

" He's probably off visiting some fellow dictator somewhere - Cuba, NK, Iran, take your pick."

Castro used his secret police to take over. Chavez will be put on trial for being a yankee pawn. It could happen!

Definitely a possibility. Probably accompanied by Jimmeh.

Unfortunately, however, HAL just posted this:

there is some suspicion that the 2002 attempt to overturn him had basically been orchestrated by him to root out his enemies.

I personally don’t believe that. I saw the duplicate and read his “note” of resignation. It was printed in a style of a second grader. He couldn’t keep his left and right margins straight, and the lines were crooked. At the last moment, he decided it needed his presidential “shield,” or what ever it was suppose to be, but there was no room at the top for the entire depiction of the shield, so the top of the shield went off the page. I’m telling you. This man is uneducated and dumber than dirt.

That is, he tried to "draw" in the shield at the top of the page. It was hilarious.

Back in the days of the Soviet Union, when a member of the polit bureau disappeared from sight, TASS would announce that he has a "cold". Then he has "pneumonia". Then the member will be buried last month.

...normality is reigning in the country

Maybe Hugo's scientists have developed an infinite improbability drive?

Can you imagine the response of the MSM if Bush's spokesman came out with this type of wtatement?

Geeze, you don't think Arafat gave him the HIV worm? I bet that would make Castro nervous!

He is, but he makes up for it by being crazy.

There is nothing more dangerous than a stupid person who thinks he’s smart. I think we’ve all witness this throughout our lives.

Ignorance is salvageable. Stupidity is forever.
