For those of you concerned about the opinions of crack-pot third-rate leaders, CNN Reports that Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, in Cuba to hold hands with his best buddy Fidel Castro, will not be returning to the US. “I have not returned, nor do I think about returning again, until the people of the United States liberate that nation,” said Chavez, saying that Americans are “oppressed” by their government and U.S. media.

Oppression. That’s an interesting one. Maybe he’s talking about Fox News? I thought the MSM isn’t biased at all. (At least that’s what internal investigations at CBS News shows.)

According to Prenza LatinaChavez also extols “There is a new logical alternative to capitalism, which is no other than Socialism, and we are building our own socialist model without emulating the ones from the past.” Of course his socialist utopia is built on exporting oil to the US, although he does seem to believe that the US is planning to invade Venezuela to try to kill him. I guess it worked out well for Saddam.

In the ’strange but true’ category, we also hear of him giving free copies of Don Quixote to his citizens. Wouldn’t seem to inspire too much confidence around the public square… don’t you think?

Of course, turning Venezuela’s economy into a mess and trying to create a socialist dictatoriship is quite a resume. But let’s not forget that it was non other than Nobel Prize winner Jimmy Carter who certified Chavez’ shady victory in last August’s recall election. The same Jimmy Carter who could not bring himself to trust fairness in 2004 US Presidential Election in Florida.

Hates America, but needs it for survival. Best friend to Fidel Castro. Backs socialism over capitalism. Wants the people of America to ‘rise up’ and overthrow imaginary oppression. Promises to help the poor… but doesn’t act on it. Has the backing of Jimmy Carter. Sounds like Chavez is angling for a time slot on Air America radio.
