Hugo! Hugo! Hugo Doesn't Have These Faults

Chavez's reelection was great in so many ways, but perhaps my favorite is the fact that it was and is a huge 'Fuck You' to the United States.  We sure as shit tried to oust him with a coup and have been doing everything we can to undermine his nation and his goals, but he has managed to get the better of our foreign policy at every turn.  Good for him, and it will wind up being good for us and everybody else in the long run, too.
