From the memorial service for the victims of Chavez goon squads.
Former Interior Minister Ramon Rodriguez (C) under Hugo Chavez's administration is taken away by police April 12, 2002. Rodriguez was tracked down at a Caracas apartment building and hustled away in handcuffs as a furious mob pummeled him with punches.
Venezuela's new interim President Pedro Carmona speaks to the press at Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas, Venezuela Friday, April 12, 2002.
Angry citizens outside the Cuban embassy in Caracas, long a source of support for Chavez's terror tactics, and now the hiding place for some of his thugs.
Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque speaks during a press conference in Havana April 12, 2002, where he accused Venezuela's military of violating their nation's constitution. Shocked by the overnight downfall of its strongest ally in Latin America, Cuba urged the world on Friday to reject the "coupsters" whom it accused of usurping power from Venezuela's fallen President Hugo Chavez. "All the news reaching us makes clear that in Venezuela yesterday there was a coup d'etat...President Chavez did not resign," Roque said. (Poor baby - where are you going to hide when the revolution comes, Roque?)
Then some whining from the lily livered:

Blast from the past - Good riddance Hugo!
I had my say when I wrote to the Univsion.com's Venezuelan community forum and I've told them that Chavez is no friend in the war against terror, that Chavez is equal to Castro, that Chavez is also equal to Saddam Hussein, and that I am proud of the Venezuelan people for getting rid of him. Many of those latinos writing meesages to that forum expressed similar opinions more than those who will stick up for that thug!
I do wish something like that happened to Clinton eight years ago, the ultimate humiliation for the state of Arkansas.
