   Meanwhile, in another corner of the galaxy, authors Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh seeth with envy at the surging book sales of their archenemy.

   Yeah, but Chavez didn’t bother me half as much as seeing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad waving around a copy of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ and telling everyone at the UN how much it changed his life.

   Ah, c’mon, don’t be so hard on Hugo. He’s tired of Bushite and wants the world to know.

   Chavez’s little speech may have seemed like some kind of fanatical rant but how else can you
   get so many Americans reading about and questioning their government’s policies? You have to
   remember that Chavez, like most in Latin America, have been reared on the writings of Garcia
   Marquez, Asturia and Naruda. When America starts speaking about the spread of democracy, Latin
   Americans start shaking in their boots; they are all too familiar with events such as
   the United Fruit Company/CIA scandal in the 1950 or the Iran Contra Affair. I think Chavez said
   what he did, in the manner that he did, in an attempt to awaken the American people. He is
   asking them to read, question and attempt to understand the hidden agendas and inner
   workings of their own government. Good for Chavez!

   And now, on The Subject of Book Sales, let’s hope this doesn’t become THENEXTBIGTHING in guerilla marketing…
