He became a household name in Venezuela as a standup comedian who aims his wit - rapid-fire, irreverent and loaded with vulgarities - at everyone from his family to the Roman Catholic Church.
I added a clarification.
Considering Chavez is using the oil revenues for bread and circuses, as well as Ak's and Russian Migs, might as well bring in a clown...
They'll need something to laugh about when the SHTF...
....yeah, I'm sure that in a tyrannical dictatorship like Venzuela this guy has an awesome chance of winning in a "fair" election....
Wasn't he in Red Dwarf?
Actually, this is the most dangerous challenge Chavez could have. Autocratic strongmen don't stand up well to satire.
Even if this guy doesn't get a vote in the ballot box, he's going to hurt Chavez, if he's any good.
I'm worried about this comedian.. he might have an "accident" or some Bolivarian Whackjob might gun him down..
I thought the clown was already running the country.
Looks a little like "Rerun" Fred Berry to me.
They already have a clown for a president. A comic would be an improvement.
