This reporter has been told that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that has "entered the end stage". The information and the quote come from a highly respected source close to Chavez and who is in a position to know his medical condition and history. This source says the prognosis is dire and that Chavez is now not expected to live "more than a couple of months at most." Chavez is running for re-elec tion in Venezuela but several sources--including the one who revealed the exact kind of cancer-- have told me that they believe it is doubtful the dictator will live to see the results.
Voting is scheduled for October 7th. Chavez has been treated three times in Cuba but the exact kind of cancer has been a closely guarded state secret.
Reporter's note: There is only one source for identifying the cancer and for the prognosis quoted in the first part of the above story. This is a person whom your reporter has very good reason to trust, but you should know that there is only one source so far; no other immediate confirmation. All sources asked for and were granted anonymity because to reveal their names could place them in danger or, at the very least cost them their positions.

I tend to be skeptical of reports like these: too much of an opportunity for there to be a miracle recovery (right before the election) that somehow demonstrates the superhuman quality of an annointed leader and convinces the illiterate peasantry that its their duty to vote for him.If Chavez wished to feed a story to the American media, whom would he likely pick? A well known reporter who is easily taken in by things like forged documents, but who still enjoys a loyal following on the left.

It will truly please me watching the Venezuelan people demanding the government stop sending their money propping up the Castro Dictatorship. With Chavez gone the Castros know their time is near. They also know that there is every chance that the good people of Cuba will do a “Ceausescu” in them!

Report: Chavez's cancer has 'entered the end stage'From time to time I become overwhelmed by the negativity and hopelessness that pervade the news every day, but then it's occasional stories like this that warm my heart.

I really should take a day off to mourn. Perhaps a bottle of champagne would lift my spirits.

I would think that he would want to take over leadership of the United Nations since he knows so much about world affairs and everything.
