Before you right-wing nutjobs start in, let us remind you that America’s greatest president, Jimmy Carter, personally observed several of Venezuela’s elections and can confirm that Chavez was not a dictator. He is so beloved, the state has practically no choice but to keep his body on display forever.

Hugo Chavez’ body to go on permanent display. Just. Like. Lenin. #tcot #teaparty

“Hugo Chavez’s body to be permanently displayed in a glass casket” uhhhhhh, that’s slightly creepy.

That’s not creepy; you Americans just don’t understand how much the poor of Venezuela (and the rich liberals of America) loved the man. A lot.
