Starting in 2000, he spent his time in Miami, New York and the Dominican Republic, where he often condemned Chavez.

Chavez would have had him killed, had he gone back to Venezuela.

How sad to die knowing your entire life’s work ended in disaster. Vanity...all is vanity.

Stunned or stupefied?

In his case it would be hard to tell the difference. Charlie sure does get away with a lot of hanky-panky.
