Hugo Chavez is either dead, or on life support, but the world will remain in the dark for weeks to come. While the above photograph has probably been Photoshopped it has been making its rounds on the internet for the last few weeks. Until we hear from el Comandante himself the rumors will not be silenced, irregardless of what Venezuelan officials would lead us to believe.
Government officials are attempting to prepare the country for Chavez to govern from life support, or beyond the grave. In this attempt they may succeed – for a while. Preventing civil war is a more difficult prospect.
Venezuelan officials have convinced themselves that Chavez doesn’t need to be sworn in on Jan 10th if he’s not ready. He can come home whenever he likes, next week as required by law, or next month if he feels up to it. His old job will always be waiting for him.
How can we be sure of Chavez’s demise? Simple, the government is making an unconvincing argument that Chavez can still govern, while readying the country for an equally unconvincing face-off with the opposition on why they must once again change the Constitution. Screw uncomfortable details like the Constitution, when they aren’t tailored to meet Hugo Chavez’s needs.

You are exactly right. Don Juan Carlos may not be a perfect man, but he is nevertheless a great man. Franco prevented Spain from becoming a communist anchor in western Europe. For all his faults, he, too, is nevertheless a great man.
He is for sure dead now.
Thanks for the tip.
Here is the current on Fox News:

Bye Bye Hugo, now you are a good Commie.
“Sean Penn, Danny Glover and Cindy Shaheed must be deeply sadden.”
Yep, and Jimmmmy Carter too. The leftist slobbering press too.
