CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - A glass monument to revolutionary icon Ernesto "Che" Guevara was shot up and destroyed less than two weeks after it was unveiled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's government. Images of the 8-foot-tall glass plate bearing Guevara's image, now toppled and shattered, were shown Friday on state television, which said the entire country "repudiated" the vandalism.

...which said the entire country "repudiated" the vandalism. Obviously not the "entire" country.

Those who rely on glass monuments shouldn’t have bullets.

They can’t stop Che. As long as tin pot dictators are making power grabs in the name of “Revolution” and snazzy berets, his ironically commercialized memory will live on in the form of teenage dopers in “cool” che t-shirts.

Reminder that not everybody in Venezuela wants to live under that a-hole Chavez’s thumb. Are the DUers claiming this was a CIA op yet?

Good grief! Where was that thing set? It looks like a very depressed area, like a gang banger hangout.
