According to AP.

Going to be interesting to see what becomes of the so called revolution now.

I wonder how long his vice-president will serve. New elections or coup?

I think he died while he was in Cuba and his vice-president/political supporters kept it quiet to maintain power.

not seeing any confirmation.

Looks like CNN reporting that the announcement came from VP.

..wonder why BBC is slow to confirm?

Guess I should have posted this in the Debate forum where an adult discussion could take place. Feel free to move this mods.

Bush 0
Obama 3

I'm assuming the 3 for Obama you're referring to are Bin Ladin, Ghaddafi, and Chavez. So wouldn't Bush then at least get Saddam?

So Bush 1, Obama 3 would make more sense. And honestly, Chavez was a bad leader but doesn't fit in with the rest of them. If incompetence were a qualifier to be considered a monster then every Republican President since Nixon would deserve to be considered one.

Obama gets credit for Dear Leader too. :thumbsup:

Hugo Chavez was a tool.

Glad he's dead.

Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity are tools also. I'll be glad when they're off the air but not glad when they're dead.

So little humanity is being shown in P&N today. Not surprising considering the decreasing quality of posters in here as of the last couple years.

Wonder if this means Big Oil is going to be able to buy Venezuela's next leader?
