Holding a special session in the "hood", away from the opposition? Sounds like they learned that from the deomocrats in Texas.

Or, maybe the Democrats in Texas learned from Hugo's mentor, Fidel Castro.

First thing I thought, too, was the shining example of the Texas Dems. Well, and perhaps the Senate Dems who are blocking Bush's judicial nominees by refusing to ever let them go to a vote. Seems to be a tried and true leftist technique for subverting the legislative process.

Still, our country is not on the verge of a total dicatorial lockdown or a civil war, which Venezuela is. I think this latest Chavez ploy is really bad news, and could be the thing that finally sets it off.

My first thought was our Texas Dems ,too!This is going to get worse.
