Chavez doesn’t have cancer; he got a liposuction. EDIT: NEW DETAILS.

Sun, 31 Jul 2011 18:39:28 +0000

My father told me that he believes the whole Hugo Chavez “cancer” thing is actually false and meant to bring him support for the upcoming elections. (Chavez is polling at about 50%, the opposition seems united and willing to present a single candidate, Chavez is currently ruling mostly by decree, and he recently said he doesn’t have a single cancerous cell in his body, among other things.). Fidel Castro is “the ultimate mastermind” capable of fomenting this plan to save the billions Cuba gets from Venezuela in subsidies, cheap oil, direct “loans,” etc. The only reason Chavez has lost weight is because of a liposuction.

When I asked my dad about the comments Chavez gave that he will probably begin to lose his hair as a result of the chemotherapy, my dad replied, “He’ll just shave it off.”

I am putting this out there so it will be time stamped. If this is ever proven true, I am expecting my dad to get a column in the New York Times adjacent to Paul Krugman’s musings.

UPDATE:

Thanksgiving Dinner conversation:

Me: ”So, do you still think Chavez’s cancer is fake?”

Him: …

Me: …

Him: No.

Case closed.

McCain:

According to RedState’s Erick Erickson, the anti-Palin stories come from a pro-Romney cabal that hates the idea of Palin 2012. Erickson writes:

“At this moment, however, it is absolutely clear — there is an effort, organized or not, by supporters of Mitt Romney to harm the reputation of Governor Sarah Palin. [. . .] there are Romney supporters now working on John McCain’s campaign who are, in fact, indisputably out to damage Sarah Palin’s reputation. I am not just convinced of it. I know it to be fact.” [RedState]

Maybe these are the same people who are allegedly distributing their resumes in the private sector a week before the election. [Politico]

Earlier today RedState’s Directors denounced anyone and everyone on the right who collaborated against McCain-Palin through what they call “destructive criticism.” [RedState] Just hit the refresh button if RedState doesn’t load, as it tends to display an “Internal 500 server error” message or something like that.

Obama:

Slate reveals that it is in the tank for Obama (but is that really a surprise?). [Slate] The McCain campaign suspects the same is true for the Los Angeles Times and probably the entire press. [Politico] Anyways, the Smoking Gun website has a .gif that summarizes one of latest Obama stories, so here it is:

And of course CNN is in teh tanks too. [CNN]
