And he killed Chomsky too.

What can I say? I though this was an exaggeration of Fox News until found the news in the NYT.

"At a news conference after his spirited address to the U.N. on Wednesday, President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela expressed one regret: not having met that icon of the American left, the linguist Noam Chomsky, before his death."

UPDATE Oct 3:

Apparently the Chomsky is dead thingy is not right. He was referring to John Kenneth Galbraith, a man Chavez had the indulgence of reading his economic theory books when he was a child! I didn't know that Chavez was so smart! Certainly he come across as a charlatan to me!

What would be Chavez's epitaph? "Here lies the golden child, missunderstood prodigy, President of Venezuela, he has it all and yet fucked up everything he touched!"
