July 15 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan election authorities invited 24 international celebrities, including Barbra Streisand and Nelson Mandela, to observe a recall vote against President Hugo Chavez Aug. 15.

The group of invited observers also includes U.S. actor Danny Glover, Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez and U.S. presidential candidate Ralph Nader, the National Electoral Council said in a statement. None of the invited observers has confirmed their attendance, a council spokeswoman said.

Thats almost as bad as asking the UN to observe. Sounds like Chavez had a great deal of influence on choosing that team.

Chavea knows commies when he sees them. Babs has a room temp IQ and I have no idea why Chavez would want them.

If America is lucky, Chavez will "detain" them for a long period of time.

"Chavea knows commies when he sees them. Babs has a room temp IQ and I have no idea why Chavez would want them."

Because they have no idea of what they are doing. They won't see anything wrong because they don't know what to look for. But they will all march up to the mic and camera and praise Hugo for a fair election and how honor they are for being asked. Just their esteemed presence will ensure fairness. Pompous asses.

We could always refuse them reentry. Maybe they'd like to stay in a communist country. Send them to Cuba to live out the rest of their days.
