Infinite MonkeysVenezuelan socialist nut-job strong-man Hugo Chavez says he's going to sue CNN for linking him to al-Qaida.
Oops.
CNN admits it was a mistake to juxtapose Hugo's mug with an AQ guy, yet Chavez's "information minister" (just love that classic commie title) is still livid:
"CNN broadcast a lie which linked President Chavez to violence and murder," he said.
Nah.....wouldn't want to point out how violently Hugo deals with peaceful protesters in his own country.
Yes. A choke hold on a grandmother holding a sign attached to a piece of balsa wood. No wonder the number of Venzuelans who think Chavez is trying to set up a dictatorship has gone from 40% to 60% in the last week. (A little slow on the uptake, those Venezuelans).
Besides, CNN should not be apologizing. They could simply point out Hugo's well-documented links to al-Qaida.
