Hugo Chavez, the cokehead?
“It all,” as the orphanage nuns used to tell us children, “comes out in the wash.” Venezuela’s big-talking President Hugo Chavez has revealed that he regularly consumes coca—the source of cocaine. In other words, save for the palace, the trappings and the fawning celebrities, Hugo Chavez seems to be just your average cokehead. Kudos to savvy El Nuevo Herald reporter Casto Ocando for revealing one explanation where Chavez gets his bully personality. It’s enough to restore your faith in the Mainstream Media.- Monday, January 21, 2008
