Hugo Chavez is either dead, or on life support, but the world will remain in the dark for weeks to come. While the above photograph has probably been Photoshopped it has been making its rounds on the internet for the last few weeks. Until we hear from el Comandante himself the rumors will not be silenced, irregardless of what Venezuelan officials would lead us to believe.
Government officials are attempting to prepare the country for Chavez to govern from life support, or beyond the grave. In this attempt they may succeed – for a while. Preventing civil war is a more difficult prospect.
Venezuelan officials have convinced themselves that Chavez doesn’t need to be sworn in on Jan 10th if he’s not ready. He can come home whenever he likes, next week as required by law, or next month if he feels up to it. His old job will always be waiting for him.
How can we be sure of Chavez’s demise? Simple, the government is making an unconvincing argument that Chavez can still govern, while readying the country for an equally unconvincing face-off with the opposition on why they must once again change the Constitution. Screw uncomfortable details like the Constitution, when they aren’t tailored to meet Hugo Chavez’s needs.

Sounds pretty familiar. Obozo/Holder: We don't need no stinkin Congress, We don't need no stinkin Constitution.
Looks like Commies are all alike, and Chavez is or soon will be a Good Commie. a Dead Commie.
If he really is dead I have a feeling he's finally smelling that sulfur he was talking about.
He and Franco are in neighboring dewars.
I can only hope.
Yes, I knew the article was dated. But the rumor of his death persists to the point that an article on Drudge today says the public is not accepting that he is still alive.
Here is my take on that. Chavez is dead, a body double has returned to perpetuate the lie he is alive.
It is my opinion that Castro is also long dead and a body double is the stand in. Seen infrequently.
I read weeks ago that Chavez underwent surgery in an underground high security hospital that had treated Castro.
My opinion is that Chavez IS DEAD......
Hugo Chavez is either dead, or on life support, but the world will remain in the dark for weeks to come. JUST LIKE THE QUESTIONABLE EXISTENCE OF THE ENTIRE GOP!
Who cares? How many years of reports were made about Castro being near death or dead. What did it change?
Thanks for the pic my FRiend.
Don’t insult a great man like Franco, who saved his country, by lumping him with Chavez.
Sorry. Most of what I know about Franco comes from Chevy Chase. I shouldn't have said it.
It’s likely that Chavez will be as hard to put down as Afafat was, they will keep him around until the smell becomes unbearable.
Well, if he turns green he’s not a dictator....
Yep
I thought if he turned green that's supposed to be good for the environment...
Do I need eyeglasses. His face look to plastic.l
