CARACAS — Venezuela's government said on Wednesday it may not be possible to embalm the remains of late leader Hugo Chavez as planned because the process should have been started earlier.

Chavez died last week aged 58 after a two-year battle with cancer. His body has been on display in a glass-topped coffin at a grandiose military academy in the capital Caracas, where millions of people have filed past to pay homage.

The government had said it planned to embalm Chavez's remains "for eternity" in much the same way as was done with the remains of Soviet leaders Lenin and Stalin and communist Chinese leader Mao Zedong after they died.

Well, he did have Commiecare.

Stuff the Commie in a Twinkie, and he will be just fine. :)

Like 1999.

Put him out in the sun .... sort of like making buffalo chips which are very durable and burn.

[TigersEye]

Stuff him like a jackalope!

[jazusamo]

Get Jimmy Carter down there to say a few words for Hugo, Jimmy can’t shut up and it seems he’ll be here forever.

[Gay State Conservative]

I really think he can last forever.After all,neither the lowliest bacteria (bacterium?) nor maggot would touch him in a million lifetimes.

[varmintman]

Ever notice how much trouble these commie bastards have with the simple ideas of mortality and death??

[Mercat]

I’m thinking he was dead about a week before they admitted it. Had him on ice. Not good once he thawed out. ewwwww

[smokingfrog]

Stuff him into a pickle barrel. That should do it.

[sergeantdave]

Hugo has been dead since 1956.

[VeniVidiVici]

Yes, that sulphur smell *is* coming from up here now.

[Klemper]

Why not “plasticise” him?

[WKB]

Display your carcass in Caracas

[Grams A]

We have kind of a joke down here. They just need to kick the s**t out of him and then they can bury him in a matchbox.

In the meantime, please don’t desecrate my Twinkies.

[Bubba_Leroy]

A good taxidermist can still skin and mount him just fine.

[Duke Nukum]

He was probably stuffed in a deep freeze since approx. December 18, 2012.

[Deathtomarxists]

Chavez needs to preserved just like the dinosaur puree he sells us - stick him underground, grind him up, and spit whatevers left into the engine of a 47 Chrysler. Then the real fun starts.

[MotorCityBuck]

LOL!

[Charles Martel]

Pore Jud is daid, pore Jud Fry is daid;
He's lookin' oh, s'purdy and s'nice.
He looks like he's asleep, it's a shame that he won't keep,
But it's summer and we're runnin' out of ice.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Something tells me Chavez has been at room temp for a lot longer than they’re admitting...

[Secret Agent Man]

Put him in line at the DMV. It’ll be like eternity.

[Secret Agent Man]

Now I just need a mini-me!

[Secret Agent Man]

Your company-killing, union-produced Twinkies?

[Secret Agent Man]

He could just be ground up and put into a variety of compost piles. Maybe he could do a final small bit of good.

[tumblindice]

“El maestro es decomposing-o.”

[Republican1795.]

Perhaps... but just look at Lenin... he’s still preserved.

[Trod Upon]

I’ve thought him a rotten SOB for years now, so it’s nice to have my suspicions confirmed.

[Grams A]

Yep. Went to a Scouts fundraiser for my grandson’s Troop. Someone had donated a box of Twinkies for the auction so I decided to bid on them.

Various people around me were laughing about how stupid it was to be auctioning off Twinkies when you could “buy them in any grocery store off the shelf for less than $5.00 a box”. My eleven-year-old grandson leaned over and said that I shouldn’t try to explain anything to them because they “probably didn’t have a clue about the union antics”. He and I discuss lots of stuff when he’s over here and he loves to read the comments on FR. Bringing him up right!

[Vaquero]

Float him in a hogshead of his own oil. Just like admiral Nelson in grog.

Float Joe Kennedy right along side him.

[bikerman]

The buzzing of flies must be deafening.
