!R.I.P. Chavez!!!

I admire Chavez for when he called out President Bush that time on NATIONAL TV calling him a devil and alcoholic. Ha ha! I was like Whoa! Who is this dude? He sure is bold, and I like him! He wasn't afraid to speak his mind, despite the position he held!!! I was like he said something the white folks would not admit and say and something the black folks would not dare to say due to they positions they may have held, in the public eye, or corporate job etc. In peoples' mind, they knew George W. Bush wasn't no good and was drunk the whole time while running the country and was evil by the way he handled the black children and families during the Katrina storm outbreak down in New Orleans, Louisiana 2005. Then here comes Chavez, blasting Bush on public TV for all to hear. I LOVE IT. That instant he became a hero in my eyes. I too, admired his confrontational, domineering, gangsta-like style. Mr. Chavez had much spunk and didn't take no mess, particularly off George W. Bush. Haha. I think honestly, if he would have caught Bush off somewhere, he would've whooped him hahaha.
