The Obama administration has sent an official three-person delegation to Caracas to attend Friday’s funeral for deceased Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. According to US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, they are former Massachusetts Congressman William Delahunt, U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York and State Department diplomat James Derham. Chavez´s funeral is being attended by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Cuban President Raul Castro and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, all of whom, like Chavez, have their issues with Western capitalist society.

Delahunt is a skank without being a chavez butt boy.

What the hell! Did we send a delegation to Kim Jong Il’s funeral? This iss a disgrace. Chavez was a raving Jew hating, terrorist supporting Marxist. So, come to think of it, this fits Obama’s profile perfectly.

I see they’re going to have the swine on perpetual display. In a crystal coffin.

Will they stuff an apple in his mouth like in the old-time butcher shop whole-porker displays?

Perfect choice. Delahunt has been living the Caribbean high life on the cuff of latin American dictators for decades.(Menendez is a piker by comparison.) I’m sure he’ll be able to shed a very sincere tear.

I wold venture to bet that the Chavez’s sealed crystal coffin does not last near as long as Stalin’s.
When the revolution comes and it will, Chavez’s moldy corpse will be dragged through the streets and probably burned.
The people will only take so much and when they do revolt, Chavez’s corpse and his successors will pay a huge price.

It’s shocking that Hussein himself isn’t going to attend his buddy’s funeral.

Can Venezuela be persuaded to keep them? They can help the Venezuelans through their grief.

They should have ignored it.

Or sent Jimmy Carter and Hillary.

Send Boehner to Venezuela. He can cry on cue.

Don't let him back in the U.S. till ObamaCare is completely de-funded.

Why? Why are we sending anybody?

Every other person at this is going to be from a radical leftist or Islamic dictatorship (including Ahmadinejad). But I guess Obama is angling for his own place permanently on display in a dictator-style glass coffin.
