you guys both make good points....i think the real indicator is that hugo's closest allies are fleeing this ship....1st the VP (and guerilla face), now the psuv governor guy.....

as the party falls apart hugo will probably get more and more iron fisted....

that's when we'll find out how much venezuelans care about thier freedom...will they be bananaheads and bow from oppression?....or will the next "el presidente" stand up??

personally, i think they might be better off to outsource the presidents job... maybe india....

"pank yu por calling benezuela...dis is president jon....ow may i elp u?"
