According to an early morning report, Venezuelan president and deluded do-gooder Hugo Chávez has hit the road … and the air. An embedded reporter followed the wanna-be Castro’s every step as he journeyed across the southern provinces, kissing babies, caressing old ladies, and making empty promises to the poor. A helicopter was involved, too, and so were some innocent cattle he most likely preached socialism to. On the road, the reporter gives you a glimpse into Chávez’s favorite blockbusters:

“He said he enjoys watching Clint Eastwood movies, and liked the film ‘Gladiator’ so much he saw it three times.”

Hold up: Huey relates to movies about dirty outlaws who fight the establishment? Never saw that coming.
