CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro is expected to reshuffle his cabinet after declaring that the country faces a new political reality now that the opposition has taken control of congress for the first time in more than a decade.

Maduro said Tuesday night that he would announce cabinet appointments Wednesday. He says the new lineup will be able to protect the revolution in a new political era.

The socialist president asked his top ministers to resign after the party suffered a crushing loss in Dec. 6 legislative elections.

Are the Chavistas about to break apart under the strain? I watched in fascination the opening of their National Assembly yesterday on YouTube. Now that it is under opposition control, the Revolution against the Chavistas WILL be televised. The Chavistas tried to keep the National Assembly opening from being televised by removing their version of C-Span but the opposition circumvented it by broadcasting it on YouTube. Quite a sight to watch and hear the Chavistas throwing a major hissy fit.

Reminds me of the Democrats in 1994.

Maduro read that was what Hitler did with his command staff when the war was going badly, so he figured what was good for one fuhrer was good for all.
