Chavez gets deposed, guns shoved in his face, beaten, and imprisoned in a filthy cell on an isolated Caribbean island. After all that, he's going to come back and continue with the exact same policies that precipitated this in the first place? Napoleon, this guy ain't. If I were Chavez, I'd be saying "Screw OPEC" about now.

FINKE LAWSUIT CLAIMS DISNEY IN ENRON-LIKE COVER UP drudgereport.com *Exclusive Details Here's one you wont be reading on Page Six. A reporter fired by the NEW YORK POST after WALT DISNEY CO complained about two of her stories filed a $10 million breach of contract and slander lawsuit late Friday against DISNEY, NEWS CORP and the POST. Pierce O'Donnell of O'Donnell & Shaffer represents Finke in the action, which alleges DISNEY is trying to cover up financial perils from shareholders by trying to silence reporters like Finke. "This really is ENRON all over again!" notes one legal source. MORE "ENRON tried to get reporters fired who were the first to write negative articles. It goes to the heart of the press informing the public, and shareholders....but if companies are in business together, in bed together, how can that happen? DISNEY and NEWS CORP do tons of business together, MOVIES.COM for one thing." O'Donnell, who smoked DISNEY last year in the GO.COM trademark claim for $22 million, has told associates: "This case is why I went to law school!" MORE Finke's Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit lists 11 causes of action, including intentional interference with contract, breach of contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, libel and slander. The suit stems from her Feb. 19 firing over a pair of articles that ran in the POST on Jan. 29: "Pooh Scandal is ' $hret. She claims the motive in presenting only Petrocelli's comments was for FOX "to serve as nothing more than an extension of the DISNEY public relations campaign." The POST fired Finke the day after the O'REILLY FACTOR airing.
