Chavez rooting on Venezuelan driver Duno (Indianapolis 500)
Yahoo ^ | May 25,2007 | PAUL NEWBERRY

Milka Duno and Hugo Chavez bantered back and forth like a couple of flirty schoolchildren. When the two hooked up on the phone this week, Chavez invited Duno to "go for a ride" in his red Volkswagen Bug. Duno countered with an offer to attend a race, drawing a big laugh from the Venezuelan president

"Give me a ride!" he exclaimed. "With you, I'll go anywhere."

For many Americans, Chavez is a pompous blowhard, the world leader who called President Bush "the devil" and positioned himself as a righteous warrior against U.S. imperialism.

Come Sunday, though, Chavez will have a rooting interest in that most red, white and blue of events: the Indianapolis 500.

Duno is the first Venezuelan to make the race, not to mention being part of the first three-woman field in Indy history.

Venezuelans are some of the most beautiful women on earth. This race car driver will almost certainly NOT be repatriating her income to Venezuela, where it will be stolen by the commies.

So I have no problem with tis babe.

I don’t like Chavez , don’t watch car racing, don’t buy gas from Citgo, and she represents all of that. I want what lets the air out of the blowhard Chavez. Sorry, I don’t really care about her looks at all, as I am a woman.

Get real Chavez is her Sugar Daddy.

Venezuelan why is anyone from that Communist state allowed into the United States. They should be treated just like the USSR and their Communist scum balls.

To be fair, she is a babe. No reason to dis' her just because she's friendly with the president of her country.

That being said, I hope she comes in last.

She will be in the “also ran” list.
I watched her at Kansas, she’s not even close to contending.

That is a very flattering picture. If you see her close up, you will notice scars and blemishes, as if she had a fire on her face and they put it out with a pick.

Wow, what a hottie! Thanks freepers for posting the pics! Helped make my day. Chavez is all bluster and a moron but I don’t feel especially threatened by the man. Besides, we have much bigger fish to fry.

IRL has finally jumped the shark, after trying for a long time.

A three woman contingent sounds like a good thing for ratings and it would be nice to see a serious female driver win or run with the leaders.

But this lady has had a total of ONE prior indy car race, she apparently has trouble communicating with her crew, AND she is a shill for latin america's number one whack-job anti-American dictator.

Indy is a tough track and I doubt any of the other drivers, including the two serious female drivers, are eager to spend the day passing her lap after lap.

Not to mention the tirades we'll hear from Hugo in the event she gets crashed or black flagged for being a hazard.

(PS: I'm for Andretti as well - John Andretti deserves another win in one venue or the other.)

Then why did you compare her to Jacko?

Maybe I'll get the chance if she comes to Homestead.

Obviously there are attributes that Milka has that Danica could use and visa versa. One attribute that Danica has that she won’t give up is a faster car and better team.
