CARACAS, Venezuela – Call it the Bolivarian battle of the bulge.

President Hugo Chavez said in a televised speech Friday that "there are lots of fat people" in Venezuela and advised his supporters to exercise and eat healthy to trim their waistlines.

"I'm not saying fat women, because they never get fat," he added. "Women sometimes fill out."

The 55-year-old leader said he himself has lost nearly 20 pounds (9 kilograms) by exercising and eating well. But Chavez, who still appears heavier than when he first took office in 1999, acknowledged that he could lose a few more pounds (kilograms).

"Doing sit ups," he said. "Eating well. One has to learn how to eat."

I'm sure Chavez gets much more to eat than the average Venezuelan these days.

Fat suits Hugo better-—he is the El Puerco de Venezuela and a fat pig he should stay-——
