Quote from: Dan Rather
"This reporter has been told that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that has 'entered the end stage.'  The information and the quote come from a highly respected source close to Chavez and who is in a position to know his medical condition and history. This source says the prognosis is dire and that Chavez is now not expected to live 'more than a couple of months at most.'  Chavez is running for re-election in Venezuela but several sources--including the one who revealed the exact kind of cancer-- have told me that they believe it is doubtful the dictator will live to see the results.

Cool, so now Venezuela can have their own Eternal Leader.

I look forward to all the conspiracy theories.

I'm sure you've been in love with him since Rathergate.

Looks like Republicans will need to find a new bogyman.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Why do Republicans need a bogeyman at all?

Why don't you tell me.  While you are at it, why did Republicans fixate on Chavez?

The reason I don't tell you is because I don't think they need one.

As to Chavez, your question is based on a flawed premise.

I think Chavez is far, far more fixated on the US than anyone in the US is fixated on Chavez...
