This will probably come as a crushing blow to Chris Hayes, (the legacy of Hugo Chavez is “complicated” donchaknow…) but it seems that the dictator may miss out on his chance to become a permanent national monument in corpse form. It turns out that the process to permanently embalm and display the now room temperature leader would take a bit more work than can be managed.
Venezuela’s information minister says the government has decided that the body of Hugo Chavez will not be embalmed for permanent display, as officials had said it would be.
Ernesto Villegas’ tweet Friday night says the government has discarded the option based on the advice of a Russian medical commission.
The message says the commission had said Chavez’s body would have to be sent to Russia for seven to eight months to be properly embalmed.
Well, this is about the most distressing news to come out since the Girls Gone Wild team had to file for bankruptcy. Without having the Chavez corpse to visit and look at, Venezuela may have to put in a socialist version of Disneyland or something. ( The It’s a Small World ride should be a real hoot.) But I suppose I can see why they went to the Russians to make the decision. I mean, they’ve got all of that experience with, er…
Anyway, I know you’re all totally interested in all of the science involved here, so let’s go to the video. Then you can debate the political and mortuary ramifications of… Naw. Just kidding. Let’s go with the Girls Gone Wild bankruptcy story. It’s probably more relevant anyway.
Venezuela?
Too much sulfur?
Ya .... we really need to honor these tyrants for all of the good they have done for this world ..... NOT!
Flush the pig down the toilet ..... well that is if they actually do have toilets there.
Oh noez...
There is a precident for this ; http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprolite
maybe they could just have him bronzed
Is there still time to glue two googly eyes to his brain and preserve it in a jar?
Chavez - the “other” white meat”?
To #12: They should have embalmed him while he was still alive. Would have had a better chance of getting him to look real. Shees. I’ve told those guys, “Timing is everything”, but “Noooo, they wouldn’t listen to me”.
To #19: I know a lot of Viet vets, including some POW friends, who would hold you up in the air to piss on Hanoi Jane.
Me, I’d take a dump.
Met her twice. Beautiful but dumb as dogcrap. Tom Hayden got the better of her. In fact, so did a lot of other commies including Roger Vadim, who started her moral downfall and Mark Lane, the lunatic lawyer.
Now she’s just an old “Hanoi Whore”.
Probably because Lenin was already skin and bone and Chavez was a greasy porker. You can’t embalm fatty tissue in a way that will prevent it from going rancid (well, even more than he already was).
How about just a life-size blow-up doll?
Even the bear there in the background is smiling!!!
You’d think Greenpeace would have a problem with them dumping that kind of trash in the ocean???
I heard they are still trying to get us for dumping OBL there in the IO...
