>> It was the Dick Cheney attitude in relatively good economic times. Cheney has explained that quote in a totally reasonable manner that is consistent with his lifelong public service as a highly skilled, highly competent individual. And Cheney, of course, never threatened any reporters that we know of.

Hugo Chavez is Dead: CNN Report

Posted by Aurelius at 7:51 PM

This is from CNN: Chile. This is a rough translation:

Guillermo Cochez, a Panamanian politician, says the president of Venezuela is deceased.

Talking with CNN Chile, the former ambassador said that on December 30 President Chavez had been declared brain dead in Cuba, returning to Venezuela eventually in that state. Therefore Chavez could not have been visited by the various leaders who reportedly met him...

The information obtained by the former diplomat says are "sources within the Venezuelan government" and that is information that has been circulating for weeks...

Guillermo also said Chavez died four days ago and asked her daughters to disconnect the ventilator which was connected to survive.

and also

“Hugo Chavez is brain dead”
Guillermo Cochez, the former Panamanian ambassador to the OAS, says so to CNN Chile: Ex Embajador de Panamá en la OEA: “Hugo Chávez está muerto”

Cochez states Chavez has been brain dead since December 30, 2012.

He also says that Chavez’s daughters asked that their father be taken off all life support four days ago.

probably shouldn't have gone to Cuba for their free healthcare

All the President’s Thugs Hey, Bob, you can’t say we didn’t warn you. We knew this White House was capable of attacking even the great Bob Woodward for telling the truth. You could have listened to Michael Barone. He saw it coming even before Barack Obama was elected. In October 2008, he penned “ The Coming Obama Thugocracy.” [iframe id="google_ads_iframe_/1011927/PJM_300_by_250_middle_0" name="google_ads_iframe_/1011927/PJM_300_by_250_middle_0" width="300" height="250" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" src="" style="border-width: 0px;"][/iframe] I experienced it when DOJ press harpy Tracy Schmaler yelled at a half dozen reporters, as the White House official did to you, about my under-oath testimony involving the New Black Panther dismissal. Her victims included Pete Williams, Quin Hillyer, and Sharyl Attkisson. After Schmaler’s thug tendencies were well known, she was nurtured and promoted within the Thugocracy instead of being canned, as any administration before this one would have done to her — Republican or Democrat. Schmaler has since been appointed a Made Man of sorts, entering the rarefied private sector air of David Axelrod’s shop. Schmaler’s story is typical of this gang. Her shouting, threats, and rants at reporters would have rendered her unqualified to serve in the press shop of a state department of agriculture. But there is something unique about the Obama White House. It borrows tactics and standards from the darker figures in history — threats, projection, unrepentant dishonesty, towering columns in stadiums, and even bloody mayhem like Fast and Furious hatched for political purposes. Richard Nixon seems like a fluffy kitten compared to this crowd. Which brings us back to you, Mr. Woodward. What’s happened when you, of all people, are the bad guy? Had you ventured into any cocktail party in Silver Spring or Takoma Park just a few years ago, you would have been treated like a hero — liberal Washington’s very own version of Pittsburgh Pirate Bill Mazeroski, who with one swing of a bat brought down the reviled Nixon. “Maz” never had to pay for a meal in Pittsburgh after that October afternoon in 1960 when he delivered a World Series. That used to be you, Bob. But now, you’re the problem!
