The Venezuelan Game

In the next installment of the famous Venezuelan game, "Let's Blame the United States," President Hugo Chavez has blamed the U.S. for masterminding a boycott by opposition parties against the upcoming election.

As U.S. Embassy spokesman Brian Penn says, "We are simply not responsible for everything that goes on in Venezuela." Tell Chavez that. [Article Link]

Here's a funny idea: if we ever became isolationist again, who would Chavez blame? Can't be his problems, of course.

I like that Chavez bet Bush that he could stay in office longer. Yea, that's a bet alright. Of course Chavez is going to stay in office longer. Such is the issue with a despot.
