Death is the greatest equalizer. Socialism and communism? Hah. Mere shadows of the true power.

Jose, thank you for the full belly laugh! Comment of the Week!

I had completely forgotten that UN moment. What a churlish cad and idiot Chavez was.

The rest of his legacy is the mess he worked at creating in S. and C. America. Bolivia is far worse off for his tenure…as is Ecuador.

Colombia resisted – another reason I LOVE that country!! Honduras managed to escape his malign influence as well. Good for them, and shame on the lefties in this country who supported Chavez’ meddling.

I’m glad he’s gone. I’d say the Venezuelan people deserve better, except that they got this guy because of their envy and class warfare. Brought on by the bungling, crony capitalist, “democratically elected” governments that went before.

Latin America is full of rich countries with many decent people, but ruled by kleptocrats….very sad.

Chile stands out, at least at present….I still love Colombia, but the new guy is no Uribe!

At times like this I like to imagine that Dante’s version of hell exists & I wonder where ol’ Hugo ended up.

Mike, I wonder if with all that stolen cash he stashed away whether Hugo was paying Raul and Fidel through the nose for the best veterinary-level medical care money can buy. God knows the Cuban oligarchy could use it.

The Romans said “De Mortuis Nil Nisi Bonum.” Of the dead nothing but good.
Chavez is dead. Good.

It’s a good thing that Hugo Chavez lasted as long as he did. This way, only Sean Penn laments his passing. Danny Glover might shed one tear or two. Obama might regret the passing of a fellow dictator. But by now no one else will give a sh!!t.

The Chavez legacy is a whole bunch of mothing except for a mountainload of misery. No one will miss him. Into the dustbin of history, with nothing but a few pictures in Venezuelan textbooks.

If he’d died even a mere five years ago, the Left might have been able to construct a legacy. Now, not a chance. A few lefties are trying to call him a “champion for the oppressed”. Oh, sure, yes, alright, I get you. A champion for the oppressed while he amassed a TWO BILLION DOLLAR fortune and tucked it away while more and more of his people actually suffered. He was just another banana republic thug. Give me a break. Losers.

Hugo Chavez, RIP — Roasting in Pit

You see, Bookie RIP can fit; if you “tailor” it just right
