Hugo and Barbara, Sitting in a Tree . . .

In applying the journalistic version of the Marquiss of Quennsbury rules (no below the belt references), I would tactfully describe Barbara Walters interview of Hugo Chavez as merely a romantic kiss. But Fausta, with perhaps greater accuracy, refers to the interview as "fellational." In either event, this interview is all the rage on Venezuela t.v., and could not come at a more opportune time for Mr. Chavez as he tries to regain credility after Bush's Latin American visit. I recommend you both watch the interview and read Fausta's insightful post. Then do let us know if you felt the need to light up a smoke afterwards.
