Yeah. I can hear the conversation in the Cuban operating room...

"Scalpel."

"Sponge."

"Ice cream scoop."

"Let's close."

Removing his head would be hemorrhoid surgery.

with the money he has, and with all the countries in the world he could have gone to, I just wonder why Hugo Chavez chose of all places — CUBA for his cancer treatment...

What special ability do the CUBAN doctors have the those in other countries don’t?

Cuba has a hospital for their elites that has pretty much anything. The hospitals for the masses stink like rotten garbage.

wonder who President Barack Hussein Obama will send to “whatever-his-name is” Chavez’s funeral next month. I suggest Lady Gaga, because it is bound to be a freak show beyond compare. Might be a good time to put an information booth in the piazza del somnambulismisimos to inform Venezuala that the IQ of world leaders has gone up ten percent just from the expiration of “el supremo” , with another quantum jump probable in 2012 when the great and actual “himself” gets to make a living some other way.

He’s paranoid the CIA will get him killed if he gets an operation in a civilized nation. Fear of doctors. Many dictators have it

Read the original AP article.

The left stream media “journalists” are just gushing over yugo. I only made it through about 4 paragraphs and I had to quit or I would have barfed on my keyboard.

Quite right. The Cuban doctors were all impeccably dressed with their best beads, rattles, and masks to exorcise the evil spirits in Hugo Chavez. We will see soon how well the “ju-ju” worked.

Death will come to you too, Hugo. Better see to your salvation while you still can.

Well, if there’s anything left of him, they haven’t removed it all.
