CNNChile reporting it

My Spanish sucks (nonexistent for all practical purposes) and I can't find any confirmation.

I wish ill of no man but I do approve of the developments if true.

It says he was declared clinically brain dead as of December 30th, and that what was left of him was transferred back to Venezuela from Cuba. That's why he hasn't been taking any dignitary visitors lately.

All of this from an ex-panamanian ambassador.

"It says he was declared clinically brain dead...." In this state he fits right in with the Hollywood nitwits who are his pals.

How could they tell?

Are not all socialists clinically brain dead? He should be about ready to return to office.

Looks like he's only mostly dead:

Or maybe he is muerto and Venezuela's VP is waiting for the right moment to announce it (while his staff works frantically to remove all traces of polonium).

Per Drudge. Who won the dead pool?

Not me.

But I'll put $5 on 1.5 pages before thread lock. Anyone know the under/over?

The Associated Press reports that Hugo ChÃ¡vez, who led a leftist revolution and served as Venezuela's president for nearly 14 years, has died at 58 years old.

The Associated Press
BREAKING: Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro says President Hugo Chavez has died.

And just yesterday he was recovering so nicely.

Let's just see how the transition goes. Could be fun times.

stay safe.

Merged identical topics.

We have no "dead pool" here at APS.

That's over at ARFCOM.

My guess is he's been dead for weeks, and they got the transition thing mostly worked out before they announced.

Don't you remember the way the old Soviet Union used to hem and haw about the health of their premiers?

I think we can remove the ?

I'll go with Lee. I think he's been dead and sitting in pickle juice for awhile while they sort/secure things.

No matter how much power one may gain on Earth, death cannot be avoided...

Who or what fills this power vaccuum, that is the question that requires observation. The Soviets...I mean Russians...still have any power or influence down there? The Chinese? Al Queda?

I think Chavez has been on life support for weeks and they simply pulled the plug.

No kidding! Maybe cigars have health benefits after all.

And good riddance to Chavez. He will not be missed.

RocketMan · « **Reply #17 on:** March 05, 2013, 08:25:25 PM »

It is being reported that he amassed over $2 billion during his time in power. Not exactly the thing a true 'man of the people' does. I wonder if it will be widely reported in Venezuela, and if it is, how the people will react?

To quote a Kelly Grayson on FB:

So I hear Hugo Chavez is eating his salads from the roots up these days.

Now he's finally a good Communist.

"True men of the people" typically don't become sociopathic dictators. They get killed in secret jails by those sociopathic dictators.
