Hugo Chavez Be Talkin’ More Than Don Fransico And Cristina Combined

This past Sunday, Venezuelan President Huey Chavez spoke for an unprecedented eight hour stretch on his weekly show “Alo Presidente” (his snippets of brilliance make us angry). The historic show celebrated it’s 295th showing and probably left ass-rash reminders to all who watched. Since he couldn’t import a Hollywood space-cadet to be a guest on his show this week, Huey had to find other ways to hypnotize his people: from blow kisses to his homeboy the Sultan of Crazy, aka Iranian Prez Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to calling out Venezuelan parents as ‘degenerate’ because they are buying their 15 year-old daughters fake tetas for their birthdays (we were wondering what was going on down in V-town).

People perked up when he railed against the “degeneration” of parents who give daughters breast implants for their 15th birthday, a common practice in Venezuela.

Venezuelan nukes are probably aimed at Angelenos as we type this. The Guardian cited a reporter who provided a questionable description of Huey’s show.

“Aló Presidente” is like Franklin Roosevelt’s ‘fireside chats’ with a Latin-American twist,” said Michael Shifter, of the Inter-American Dialogue thinktank.

Great, now this schmo thinks Huey is a trademark for all things ‘Latin-American’. What we do know is that it’s damn evident that Latinos have some mind-blowing stamina for putting up with crazy antics on television. Just add it to the list of the things that bind us.
