Disclaimer & comment rulesChavez can appoint a new minister...... but he can't record 10 words to tell his people he is alright and alive.

The people of veneuzla are blind mice. They think it is ok to push aside the constitution and run the country without an elected leader. What if they did not love their “beloved leader”? He is a dead Pied Piper only they are not telling the public. After a few months they will be use to the “new” way and new hand picked puppet.

I'm starting to believe the stories that he is only alive due to a ventilator. Maybe CFK did “choose” not to see him because he is already dead and didn't want to be embroiled in the lie.

Those who believe Hugo is not alive are likely the same who believed Fidel was dead after his resignation. Well, Fidel seems pretty alive to me. Most political leaders prefer their images to reflect good health and strength, some (FDR) even managed to hide their handicaps. The Venezuelan people spoke through their ballots, In good health or not, Chavez is their choice .
