Report: Chavez's cancer has 'entered the end stage'
Yahoo news ^ | 30 May 2012 | Dan Rather

Posted on 05/30/2012 10:28:24 AM PDT by mandaladon

This reporter has been told that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that has "entered the end stage". The information and the quote come from a highly respected source close to Chavez and who is in a position to know his medical condition and history. This source says the prognosis is dire and that Chavez is now not expected to live "more than a couple of months at most." Chavez is running for re-elec tion in Venezuela but several sources--including the one who revealed the exact kind of cancer-- have told me that they believe it is doubtful the dictator will live to see the results.

Voting is scheduled for October 7th. Chavez has been treated three times in Cuba but the exact kind of cancer has been a closely guarded state secret.

Reporter's note: There is only one source for identifying the cancer and for the prognosis quoted in the first part of the above story. This is a person whom your reporter has very good reason to trust, but you should know that there is only one source so far; no other immediate confirmation. All sources asked for and were granted anonymity because to reveal their names could place them in danger or, at the very least cost them their positions.

Watch Obama award him posthumously some kind of award...

Obama seems to be handing out Presidential Medals liberally these days. Maybe 'Ugo will get one or two.

Hey, what happened to that woman who used to camp out across from Bush's Texas ranch? She was photographed getting a kiss from Chavez, or some such loving scene, down in Caracas.

Surely she'll be included amongst the funeral VIPs.

Her 15 minutes are over. I can't think of her name.

So dreadful to read about your loved ones. My deepest sympathy goes out to you :-(

And I wholeheartedly agree with you on Chavez. May he ultimately save his soul by turning away from his evil ways.

That is funny (in a deeply dark, yet wholly appropriate, sort of way).

Thank you, you read my intent to a 'T'.

How many other articles do you read that interject “this reporter” this and “this reporter” that? This sounds like a celebrity gossip piece.

Oh that’s right, it is.

If memory serves me it is Sindy Shithead or something like that.

How about the pictures hanging in that photo? One looks like a gayish stylized Lenin....... Jose Marti and Simon Bolivar?

“This reporter has heard that reservations have been made in a place that’s hotter, well, hotter than a Times Square Rolex...”

I would ‘Rather’ expect that Danny Boy will eventually get to experience the heat too...
