I really hope that this will not be another display of a celebrity (e.g. Sean Pen, Dany Glover Noemi Cambell, Oliver Stone etc etc.) doing some romantic leftist tourism in Venezuela by the hand of Chavez himself.

Please, do not honor this clown by giving him a space in your great program. He thrives on publicity - good or bad.
This man is a disgrace to Venezuela. Her problems are not his doing. The country is highly corrupt; her presidents have consistently disregarded education, health and housing. Our economy relies on crude oil exports, without ever investing a bit on agriculture or manufacturing.
Hugo Chavez added to this ugly picture. He brought rancor, hatred, social resentment, violence to government, violation of human rights such as freedom of speech, right to private property, and disregard for life. Disguised as a populist, the man has become a brutal dictator, distroyed the oil industry, and has made life impossible for anybody brave enough to question him. His supporters are corrupt beggars, brown nosers, adulants who feed his megalomaniac personality for their own profit.
Note do not mention my name.
Thanks
