Hugo Chavez says he’d vote for Obama

Hugo Chavez says he’d vote for Obama. “The Venezuelan leader called Obama ‘a good guy’ and said if the U.S. president were a Venezuelan, ‘I think … he’d vote for Chavez.'” Another guy with a man-crush on Obama. Funny, he looks a little like George Costanza, too. Fidel’s gonna be soooo jealous. BTW, is this really news to any of you out there? Anyone? Bueller?

  • I hear the American Communist Party is a strong supporter.

    My liberal friends all claim that doesn't mean anything.

  • All the more reason not to vote for "Dear Leader", it seems all the Despots love him.

  • Yeah, Hugo would vote for him if he was in Venezuela, and was named Hugo Chavez. That loud-mouthed schnook wouldn't share power with anybody. He'll tolerate a puppet, though.

  • Yet another ringing endorsement for dear leader.
    R&R's campaign material is writing itself, if they would just use it.

  • Why did ol' Hugo say he'd vote for Obama, all he has to do is show up in a Democratic precint polling place and he can vote for the O...no questions asked.

  • Is there a country in the world right now that is not run by a Socialist or Communist or radical Islamist? That's a serious question. Maybe Estonia? I remember reading something on IHTM about them and austerity kicking butt. Even if there is a country, they are probably so small that a few soldiers by us totalitarian regimes can easily take them over. That's a scary thought.

    • I would be shocked to find out that all three are not registered to vote in one or more swing states and will, in fact (though not in person) be voting for the POSITOO multiple times.

    • Don't forget Putin and Iminadinnerjacket. They both know they can take this spineless buffoon to the cleaners and then get an apology from him for them kicking us in the nuts.
