  6. Unfortunately, in a dozen years Chavez was able to subvert every democratic institution in the country, from the Supreme Court on down, so it isn’t as if Venezuela reverts to democracy now that he is dead.

    For my money, George W. Bush’s biggest foreign policy blunder came in 2002 when the generals had arrested Chavez. Bush sent word the US would not condone his execution, the generals succumbed to the mobs protesting and let him go. If Bush had simply said nothing, they would have shot the SOB.

  9. Regarding Detroit, I say send a Dem. HRC, Ed Rendell, (lame duck) Deval Patrick, etc. It won’t help, but then again the Dems will own it, as they should.
