#1 A cuban plane, takes off from Barbados, blows up and Chavez wants to try him? I think he should be sent to Cuba. If Cuba wantes to give him to Venezuela fine. We can try him here as well. Hugo can bite someones rear.

#2 This is like a long-running soap opera... The South American Story.

"we will be forced to reconsider our diplomatic ties"

Um, yeah well, we're already doing that, Chebby. You're a lunatic fool and if you didn't have oil no one would even notice your spiffy sash, bling-bling, and bicycle sprocket. If your own people don't hang you, you'll all be out in The Cold for a very very long time. I hope you hate cigars and sitting through long speeches. Chebby The Grate, testing the limits of stupidity... daily. And taking 25 million people down with him.

Sorry about the spoilers.

#3 Hugo is continuously crossing the line and I think he needs a wake up call. This is a threat that's going to creep up on us.

#5 Thank Jimmy Carter for giving legitimacy to the stolen election that put Chavez in power. That smug, sanctimonious and stupid peanut farmer has a lot to answer for.

#6 That smug, sanctimonious and stupid peanut farmer has a lot to answer for.

Unlikely he'll be ever called to account for any of it.

#7 I think Chavez's lips were used for the Jish character in "The Blair Thumb"...

#9 He's been trying to blame the Yanquees for everything. He's tried to provoke Bush into even noticing him. Now he sets up a scenerio where (a) Bush hands the Cuban to Castro for show trial and thus Chavez is some kind of hero or (b) Bush refuses to turn over the Cuban and Chavez can use that as a rational for closing the US embassy in Venezuela.

Of course if he closes ties the US can probably hassle him in the world court and UN about it.

#10 How is a Cuban who blew up a Cuban plane out of Barbados even hypothetically guilty of treason against Venezuela? Sounds like if we should be extraditing this alleged piece of shit anywhere, it ought to be to Barbados, which would be the one civilized country involved in that whole sorry series of events. They have the death penalty in Barbados, right?
