After reiterating that President Hugo Chávez's health is looking grave, Venezuela’s vice president lashed out at the country’s “enemies” and expelled two U.S. diplomats whom he accused of spying on the country’s military.

At a press conference on Monday, Vice President Nicolás Maduro also pointed to the U.S. and other foreign countries of somehow poisoning Chávez with cancer.

Following a lengthy introduction of numerous officials in attendance, Maduro said U.S. military attaché David Delmonaco will be expelled from the country for conspiring against the government and the armed forces. Foreign Minister Elias Jaua also announced the expulsion of a second U.S. official, also a U.S. Air Force attache.

“He has been thrown out. He’s got 24 hours to leave Venezuela. Our national Armed Forces must be respected. We’ve already legally notified the American government,” Maduro said, as quoted in the leading Venezuelan newspaper, El Universal.

“We’re after other forces that are also conspiring in this poisonous effort. They’re trying to create disruption. They have taken all possible measures to hurt our economy,” Maduro said.

Greg Adams, spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, confirmed the attaché is Delmonaco, but had no immediate comment.

"I'm sure we will be formulating some sort of response from Washington,” he said.

Maduro sounds crazier than a bedbug, maybe crazier than Chavez.

It’s gonna be a rerun of the Arafat opus.

[jazusamo]

You’re probably right, the plot was written for them and they’re using it for lack of their creative ability.

[struggle]

If only the CIA would have the balls to do something like that...they are too busy investigating American citizens though.

LOL!

Adios, Hugo.

[DoodleDawg]

If only the CIA would have the balls to do something like that...

Something like what? Poisioning Chavez with cancer?

[Secret Agent Man]

Well I wouldn’t have minded if they decided to use one of their heart attack guns on them.

"I'm sure we will be formulating some sort of response from Washington,” he said.

Yep, Kerry and Obama will be right on it.

[Gargantua]

Word on the street is that Hugo picked up something nasty after drilling in Oabama's backyard...

...well, that's what I heard!

[dfwgator]

Joe Stalin was also poisoned on this day 60 years ago.

[jazusamo]

Quite a coincidence.

VP Madura has just reported Chavez is dead.

[snuffy smiff]

Yup. Net Right Daily is reporting that the VP says the scumbag has assumed room temp.

Good riddance!

The “dark force” who poisoned Chavez are the coca growers of the region. Chavez confessed frequently to a daily cocaine habit. His method of ingestion was a “bazooka,” favored by the poor of some Latin American countries. It is unrefined coca paste fitted into a large glass tube or rolled in a tobacco leaf and smoked.

[jazusamo]

Gads...He didn’t need to get cancer to die, sounds like that would do it easily with a steady habit.

[jazusamo]

BUMP!

[I Drive Too Fast]

Word on the street is that Hugo picked up something nasty after drilling in Obama's backyard...

You mean fracking did him in?
