Who else is having a good laugh listening to MSM's coverage of the Venezuelan
Edited on Sun Dec-02-07 09:23 AM by malaise
referendum and the Russian parliamentary elections and comparing it with the coverage of the illegal election of Mushie followed by the firing of the judges.

Neither the US nor Britain has any credibility re democracy. Gordon Brown didn't even support suspending Pakistan from the Commonwealth.

3. VHeadline has a video up on what is happening in the barrio this morning
VHeadline.com correspondent Vanessa Carolina Marcano reports: Since about 2:45 a.m, Chavez supporters around the barrio of Petare, in Sucre municipality, have been blasting the now-traditional "Diana" or reveille, which is the unequivocal signal of the democratic process in Venezuela.

Along with the National Anthem and some Ali Primera songs, the sounds of the eastern Caracas slum peppered the nighttime with an air of enthusiasm and expectation about today's electoral process, where Venezuelans will not necessarily be voting for a person, but for policies instead.
