It’s like choosing between OJ Simpson and Charles Manson, who is the lesser of two evils

Wow, you know you’re a loser when you’re hated both by the right and by Hugo - that’s just funny.

This is a very difficult decision for me. I lean to Chavez in this case. At least he makes no bones about it-he is a hard core Marxist-Lennist who hates America. Newsweak is all those things but won't admit it.

“Bourgeoisie”—cool! That term is so, well, bourgeois, with modern socialists.

He’s probably going to cancel his subscription. It is a pity, because he is their target demographic, a leftist with a lot of disposable income.

It’s a real betting horserace! Which one will be pushing up daisies by the end of 2010?

It’s kind of like watching Rachel Maddow yell at Barbara Boxer.

But now Newsweek can use their Chavez prediction as proof they are fair and balanced.
