CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela’s vice president announced that President Hugo Chavez died on Tuesday, ending 14 years of rule by the firebrand socialist but leaving his party firmly in control of the nation.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro said that Chavez died “after battling a tough illness for nearly two years.”
The death apparently sets up a presidential election to replace Chavez, whose illness prevented him from taking the oath of office for the term to which he was re-elected last year.
Under the constitution, the head of Congress, Diosdado Cabello, would assume the interim presidency.
The announcement came just hours after Maduro announced the government had expelled two U.S. diplomats from the country.

Well I am sure Satan was waiting for Chavez with a nice pair of Gasoline underwear just made for him. I hope she fired him up and has a pine apple for him daily. (little nickie the movie)
What do I say? I say YIPPEE!!!
Also: Obummer has to be depressed, one of his Kommie buddies died.
Wander if he gets 72 whores?
well,we lost an enemy which is always a good thing and obozo has lost a friend which again,in this case is a very good thing too
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!!!!
Now watch Obama go to his funeral. If he does, he should pay his own expenses.
One Evil Soul among many FINALLY GONE. Hip Hip Hooray!
Now… If only a bevy of our own domestik marxists and commies would drop dead… We’d have a HUGE celebration!!!
I dont need to name names…. Lets just say The Administration and much of Hollyweird.!!!
Could not have happened soon enough, then again, later is better than not at all!
Hopefully the next president will be more interested in peaceful relations with America. Then again, it might not matter if Bozo gets his way, which he appears to be doing as each day goes by!
Peaceful relations? This announcement came TWO HOURS after they announced they had kicked out two U.S. Diplomats!! I would not call that a good sign.
Praise God!

Hugo Chavez’s headstone: “apparent worth to society…zero”…Semper Fi
Who is that?
Obama has lost his friend Hugo? What a dirty rotten shame! Boo hoo, sniff! I won’t be able to sleep tonight. The Hollywood crowd must be in tears, especially Alec Baldwin.
