Ding Dong, Hugo To Hell

I realize I’m late to the party, but in case you have been living in a cave, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez bit the dust yesterday after a battle with cancer.

Chavez was a bad man so my initial reaction to his death – which I posted on Twitter – was:

Harsh, I know. But it is hard for me to get upset when the world’s evil quotient diminishes.

I’m guessing he’s in a very toasty place right now, bonding with Yasser Arafat, tiger-hyena style.

And according to Chavez’s Vice President, he’s got something else in common with Arafat besides location.

From bird lover to worm food

Maduro on Tuesday wasted no time in laying blame for the executive’s deteriorating situation, suggesting he was poisoned and comparing his illness to that suffered by late Palestinian President Yasser Arafat before his death. The PA accused Israel for Arafat’s death, claiming he was killed by the Jewish state.

“We have no doubt that Commandant Chavez was attacked with this illness, we have not a single doubt,” Maduro was quoted as saying by Fox News Latino. “The established enemies of our land specifically tried to harm the health of our leader.”

He certainly puts the mad into Maduro.

And speaking of mad, here’s what Iran’s head meshugene Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had to say about his death:

The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said Chávez would “return on resurrection day”. He said he had “no doubt that Chávez will return to Earth” along with Jesus and Imam Mahdi, the most revered figure among Shia Muslims, to help “establish peace, justice and kindness” in the world. Announcing a day of mourning, Ahmadinejad also said he believed something “suspicious” caused Chávez’s cancer.

    Very disturbing to read all about “Venezuela’s Leader” in the mainstream western media… like he was “a” or “some” president.
    It seems like western media are communist lovers…

    Just think. It wasn’t so long ago that a healthy Chavez was paying bedside visits to his ailing hero Fidel Castro. Now it turns out that Castro has survived him. The Peruvian comedy show “El Especial Del Humor” got its hands on a video of one of these visits.

    Chavez to Arafat: “Yasser, is that a red-hot poker in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?”

    It was like a national day of mourning on CNN last night. Larry King said he could have been, even should have been, the President of the US.

    The amount of people that think he was good is unbelievable.
