    Put the right hat on him and he could be a cardinal.

  • Spygirl

    If he dies, there goes Cuba's lifeline. Goody, goody.

  • Rayarena

    Asombra, you are so funny! You really make me laugh! I always look forward to your comments! You're so right, he's starting to look like Jaime [the one "who's face screams Queen!" LOL].

    By the way, what are the Venezuelans waiting for? Yes, I know that Venezuela is a dictatorship, but it still has some democratic underpinnings [unlike Cuba that is completely and utterly TOTALITARIAN]. People can freely associate, there are opposition parties, etc... They have moribund, bloated, cancerous dictator who has screwed up their country, raped its riches, etc.. and they have to wait for him to die?

    Whatever happens, whether they get rid of him, or he finally dies, Heaven has been kinder to the Venezuelans than to the Cubans. At least their suffering hasn't been as intense or won't be as long as always. There's a light at the end of their tunnel.

  • Rayarena

    I meant to say: at least their dictatorship won't last as long as OURS.

    He honestly looks like Jabba the Hut in that pic

  • Rayarena

    And notice the bright red clothing that he's wearing. The moribund piece of shit is pale, bloated and sick looking, so he wears red to liven himself up. castro used the same strategy some while back.

    That said, you would think that if he only has a year to live, he would try to make amends with his maker by stepping down, allowing democracy to flourish, etc.., instead of torturing his people to the very end and therefore relegating himself to an even lower ring in Dante's Hell.

  • FreedomForCuba

    I must say he either looks bloated on his own ego or full of shit, take your pick.

    Either way I hope he explodes soon, for Venezuela's sake.

  • asombra

    Hugo has always worn red, lots of it. It's not cosmetic, but ideological.
