So Hugo Chavez and the Spanish strumpet "king," Mr. Juan Carlos Alfonso Víctor María de Borbón y Borbón-Dos Sicilias de la Welfare or whatever have decided to kiss and make up. The grouchy monarch welcomed the Venezuelan prez at his tax-payer-funded summer palace on the island of Mallorca. The two exchanged awkward back-pats and jokes before J.C. gifted Chavez a t-shirt reading "Shut Up," and then Chavez asked for his half of the merchandise/ring tone royalties. You wish we were making this up, but here is the Funny video proof.
Chavez then traveled to Madrid to meet with Prime Minister Zapatero and sign a trade agreement similar to the one he had just finalized with Portugal. Venezuela will ship oil at $100/barrel in exchange for Spanish medicine, infrastructure and food.
Jose Maria Aznar and the Spanish fascists right were none too pleased w/ the good relations, with one conservative paper accusing Chavez of financing terrorists or something. The crazy goes like this - Chavez finances FARC + FARC collaborates w/ ETA = Chavez finances ETA. Although this allegation has been ignored b/c of its silliness, how did the rightists connect those dots? Oh right, the Magic laptop.
