Hugo Chavez brings in shamans to cure his cancer. He says he’s fine. He says that Cuban chemo is working just dandy. But what the hell, a guy’s gotta cover all his bases. “Shamans from tribes in Venezuela’s Amazon jungle held a ceremony at the Miraflores presidential palace Saturday to help Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez recover from his cancer treatment. Chavez, who insists that he was “not sick but recovering” from cancer, greeted the shamans wearing a tracksuit in the colors of the Venezuelan national flag and wore a crown of feathers the visitors gave him.” Our suggestion? Leaches. They’d probably do it for free as a professional courtesy.
