Chavez Sends Oil, Cocaine to Massachussetts Poor

Rep. William Delahunt, D-MA, announced today that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez would add to a previous agreement to ship low-priced oil to the poor in Massachussetts, by including a substantial quantity of cut-rate cocaine as well.

The 2.5 tons of cocaine, seized by the Chavez government in a remote eastern region of Venezuela earlier this week, will be offered to underprivileged Massachussetts residents at 40 percent off retail.

“This is a humanitarian gesture by President Chavez,” said Rep. Delahunt as he joined Venezuelan officials in front of a poor Boston resident’s mud hut to deliver 100 gallons of oil and a 20-gram bag of cocaine. “Since George Bush was appointed in 2000, Massachussetts Democrats have not had a president they could call their own. Today is the first time in years that we can joyfully say, ‘Thank you, Mr. President’.”

Rep. Delahunt, who serves as the third-world state’s ambassador to Venezuela, brokered the oil deal during a four-hour dinner with Mr. Chavez recently.

Asked what it was like to dine and chat with the democratically-elected socialist dictator who publicly refers to the U.S. president as “a madman, a killer and a mass murderer” , Rep. Delahunt said, “It was just like a normal dinner with the Ted Kennedy and John Kerry–nothing unusual.”

Can't you just feel the love that Hugo Chavez has extended to his counterparts and compatriots in Massachuetts?

The man is truly humanitarian....

Oh, Scrappleface, you DO understand!

Psssst. Scrappleface.

I hope a few dozen copies of this story end up in Delahunt's e-mail box. ;)

This gives a new meaning to the words...I'm dreaming...of a white Christmas.

Good Lord - thanks!! Feeling rather blonde-ish today!

Heh, Scott Ott is some kind of eeeevil super genius!

[LibFreeOrDie]

They've got Delahunt's number! Now he's got another U.S.-hater to adore, in addition to Castro. Delahunt probably wears a Che t-shirt under his suit...

I hope a few dozen copies of this story end up in Delahunt's e-mail box.

He'd miss the point and complain about being taken out of context... :)

No pun intended.

Tryptophan, schmiptophan, if you ate a self basting turkey, your coma was caused by the cocktail of meat tenderizers the turkey was embalmed with, including that old favorite MSG.

(Self basting turkeys are my pet peeve)

The White House says the oil sale is political, and not a true humanitarian gesture, but I don't know. What do you all think?
