Chavez out-crazies the Daily Mail

December 29th, 2011 · Posted by Skuds in Life · 2 Comments · Life

With Gaddafi and Kim Jong-Il out of the way the world had the potential to have a little less crazy in it, but Hugo Chavez has stepped in to compensate by suggesting that the US government has found a way to infect left-wing Latin American leaders with cancer. Even the Daily Mail hasn’t come up with that one yet, and they can never resist a cancer theory, having previously suggested that cancer can be caused by Facebook.

The rationale for Chavez’s theory is that Fernando Lugo of Paraguay, Dilma Rouseff and Lula Da Silva of Brazil, Cristina Fernandez De Kirchner of Argentina and himself have all had cancer in the last few years. He says that these incidences are “difficult to explain using the law of probabilities”.

Well my first thought was: clustering. Right or wrong, it is always a viable option whenever there is any sort of apparent outbreak of a non-infectious disease.

Then I read a bit further and saw that these leaders all had different types of cancer making a common cause just a little less likly.

Best of all, Chavez says he is not making” rash accusations” but is merely “thinking aloud”.

    I’m not one for the Bible, what with being an atheist, but Proverbs 17:28 is something Chavez shold consider!

    “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding”

    On the other hand his arrant dickheadery has provided bloggers with many an entertaining post!
