Hugo Chavez lost. What’s that smell? Sulfur?

Chávez himself has made a point of presenting the vote as one more chapter in the battle against ”the empire.” ‘Anyone who votes `No’ is voting for George W. Bush,” Chavez shouted to a sea of supporters Friday.

“Our true enemy is the U.S. empire, and on Sunday, Dec. 2, we’re going to give another knockout to Bush.”
