I bet Danny Glover and Sean Penn will be down there for the eulogies.

Wait a minute! I was reading the AP column reporting his death and describing his "accomplishments" - this sounded SO familiar!!
AP) "He called himself a "humble soldier" in a battle for socialism and against U.S. hegemony. He thrived on confrontation with Washington and his political opponents at home, and used those conflicts to rally his followers.
During more than 14 years in office, his leftist politics and grandiose style polarized Venezuelans. The barrel-chested leader electrified crowds with his booming voice, and won admiration among the poor with government social programs and a folksy, nationalistic style.
His opponents seethed at the larger-than-life character who demonized them on television and ordered the expropriation of farms and businesses. Many in the middle class cringed at his bombast and complained about rising crime, soaring inflation and government economic controls.
... he appeared on television almost daily, frequently speaking for hours and breaking into song or philosophical discourse..."
Now where have I seen that before... (?)
