"Aló, presidente"

I was reading about Hugo Chavez in today's The Guardian, got me to watching some footage on youtube I thought I'd share with yars.

I can't see Boris Johnson inviting Hugo Chavez to speak in London and sharing a platform with him. Check it out. He pulls a piece of paper to his chest and declares the rather amusing line: 'Let us wear a label: I am a socialist, come close and I will infect you.'

I'm quite amused by this interview: Barbara Walters interviews Hugo Chavez. 'I have a beating heart here,' he charms her whilst drinking her cold coffee.

Check out the imfamous rant against President Bush in which he refers to him as Mr Danger, the coward and donkey!

And now to Hugo's chatshow, on which he talks about situations, reads from books, explains theories, flirts and sings! That's quite a TV show, he's South America's answer to Bruce Forsyth.


"I a-wanta say-a Condoleezz-ah. I a-wanta say-a You Condoleezz-ah."

And he sings,


I don't know what he's saying but I like watching him say it. Check out the title sequence and start to episode #265 of "Aló, presidente".

Over to the UN, here's a classic case of someone playing 'the voice of reason', also translates as 'I disagree with fascists but I'd die for their right to be fascists.' Hugo calls bullshit on that - I'm with Hugo!
