    good with the personality of Chavez gone maybe Venezuelans can use their heads and see how much a disaster their country has become because of him. Billions in oil money squandered!

    I heard on the BBC news that he suffered considerable blood loss during the operation but that he had improved and was in a stable condition now.

    Disclosing hsi medical condition publicly, suppose it must have been done with his consent, otherwise, big, big, big, no, no! Even if it is Chaves, no excuses, rules are rules.

    So, as we all thought, this has gone the way it always does with pelvic cancer. He has lasted well due to the overdose of steroids that was evidenced by the massive 'blimp-up' but when the supercharger was turned off the result was always going to be thus.

    Ah well, he will learn soon enough how the Anti-Christ old Popesicles himself has been deluding 'the faithful just like all the other great liars through history down from Peter (allegedly): there is no God (or Devil of course), just nothing.

    The Mussies aka The Ragheads are going to be really pissed when they find out, NO VIRGINS, but of course they won’t will they: just having a joke!

    You have to keep a sense of reality (and humour) at times like these. LOLs

    @6 aussie shitcloud

    Haven't been following the plot have you?

    This doctor is the one who treated him in Venezuela and made an error of replying truthfully to the press when asked how Deam Man Walking was.

    He had to flee to Florida for his life but he is kept informed by various means, not the least of which is all the doctors talk to one another and many have sought his advice.

    But keep denying reality in that shit hole of a country called AG.

    I hope, and somehow expect, this guy to be wrong. I wonder actually if as a US based Venezuelan he may have his own agenda? But I'm definately holding comrade Chavez in my thoughts and prayers right now
