CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Hugo Chavez bid an emotional farewell laced with references to Jesus Christ and independence hero Simon Bolivar as he departed Venezuela on Friday for Cuba for urgent surgery to remove a tumor he says is probably malignant.

One can only hope he stares into the abyss and
finding no trace of socialism there, realizes
how empty he is.

I’m sure that every citizen of his socialist utopia that needs surgery gets flown to another country to get it, everyone being equal and all..

I hope he has an epiphany.

Chavez himself can be considered a malignant tumor in need of removal from this planet.

His soul is in his own hands. A slow death gives time for reflection his victims were not afforded.

You mean they’re finally going to remove what passes for Chavez’ brain?

I will still have the last laugh as long as you Americans have the Idiot in the White House ... and Dirty Harry and Nasty in Congress ... and open borders ... and government unions ... and libtards on the Supreme Court ... and Chicago Rat Machines in most large cities ... and public education without competition ... and a fifth column press ... and Hollyweird ... and out of control spending ...

Apaprently the state media in Venezimbabwe tried to say this was all unplanned. The ‘crowds’ were bussed in, aerial shots showed the buses, and they all just happened to bring red shirts with them?

I really wonder how long Chavez has to live, anyway. The most recent pictures I’ve seen of him show a man in really poor health.

His time is running out quickly you can tell by looking at him.The steroids they have him on have him blown up and his complexion looks yellow.His days are numbered.

So why doesn’t the freedom fighters shoot his plane out of the sky? Sounds reasonable to me.

He’s probably smelling it now, but back at the UN that wasn’t sulfur. Ol’ George had two quarts of West Texas chili flown in special from Midland when he learned Hugo would be next up at the podium. Just his way of saying “Howdy”.
