Chavez, the socialist genius

CARACAS, Dec 5 (Reuters) - President Hugo Chavez blamed "criminal" capitalism on Sunday for global climate phenomena including incessant rains that have brought chaos to Venezuela, killing 32 people and leaving 70,000 homeless.

Worst hit is the coastal area of the South American OPEC member nation where millions live in precarious hillside shantytowns and mudslides have been toppling rickety houses.  More here:

Right, nice rickety houses produced by your housing policies over the past decade, Marx boy. But go ahead and blame capitalism if you like. Hey, how's your inflation rate? Ohhhh ... sorry to hear that ... have you tried blaming capitalism yet?

Hey ... Chavez ... did you hit that?  You hit it, dincha?  Yeah, I figured you would.
