Venezuela's Chavez says "totally free" of cancer, again

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Monday declared himself fully recovered from cancer and ready to return to the streets for his re-election campaign ahead of an October vote.

"Free, free, totally free," an ebullient Chavez told reporters when asked if he was free of the disease that struck a year ago.

The 57-year-old socialist leader, who has dominated the South American OPEC member since taking power in 1999, was first diagnosed with cancer in the pelvic region in the middle of last year.

He wrongly declared himself cured at the end of 2011 and suffered a recurrence of the disease in February.

But after three operations in a year and repeated cycles of treatment in Cuba and Venezuela, Chavez is once again declaring himself fully fit at a crucial time when his health is the main wild card before the October 7 presidential vote.

Despite his optimism, doctors say it is impossible to be sure someone is completely cured of cancer until at least a couple of years have passed since the last recurrence.

Plan B, don’t they have Polonium down there?

I don’t think Yugo is going to make it through
the campaign.

Hugo, just remember, you can never NEVER be sure.
Somewhere inside just a tiny cell lies in wait.

If my hunch about Cuban health care is correct El Commandante Pocito will soon be whistling a different tune.

The man is dangerously delusional about socialism and appears to be the same regarding his cancer.

In addition to the Karma-Police in the form of cancer, Hugo has more to worry about from his cohorts who well know the “right time” signals for a nice Banana Republic coup. The only way they let him stay is if they are making more Pesos by letting him pretend to be Patron.

Man! First I went to the thread that contained video of Nancy Pelosi dancing at Barney Frank’s “wedding,” then I go to a thread containing a discussion about Hugo Chavez’s “pelvic region.” That’s way too many horrific visuals to conjure up in one day.
