The show host, on I forgot what occasion said "le bon cacao de Cuba" (the good cocoa from Cuba), being careful to articulate each syllable, so that it read as "le bon caca haut de cul bas."<br /><br />En español: la buena mierda arriba de culo abajo.<br /><br />I am NOT making this up.<br /><br />FrogguyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-33125132721905066742011-07-22T04:44:33.650+02:002011-07-22T04:44:33.650+02:00Once again Chavez tweets idiotic statements:

...LOL or CRY for Venezuelans?(It's the latter.)<br /><br />I am expecting some of Mugabe's "agricultural experts"<br />to arrive soon.( They'll show the Venezuelans the quickest way to burn tractors,kill white farmers, etc.)Hint: It is in reality-Downward mobility"-part of Chavez's plan to speed the process. Soon all Venezuelans in all occupations will have masters, be they farmers or whatever, and there masters will be mainly Cubans but also, many Moslems,<br />druglords, maybe a Russian or two<br />And,of course-the military and Chavistas hovering around assisting these "masters" and Chavez reassuring "el pueblo" -they are here to help you.RabbiBullanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-45890745601842218092011-07-21T10:04:58.158+02:002011-07-21T10:04:58.158+02:0034 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit?
