Remember “The National Post”? That’s the Canadian journalistic brain trust that came really really close to launching WWIII a couple years ago with that fake story about Iran and Nazi badges?
Well this week they are reprinting Andres Martinez’s comically grumpy Venezuelan travelogue, only with one little modification. It’s now an opinion piece about Venezuelan politics. The text is exactly the same, only it now runs underneath a menacing picture of Chavez and this ominous lede:
Venezuela's Cracked Veneer: Hugo Chavez is a charismatic dictator. But he can't hide the fact that his 'Bolivarian' paradise is imploding in the usual Latin American way.
So, um, enjoy the good times all over again!
