Re: Internet chatter: Hugo Chavez is dead
I think it would have played out identically with how it has played out so far: a canonization of Chavez followed by a swift attempt to fill his shoes.
Another reason I have difficulty believing a 'bernie' is that the reports of Chavez going to Cuba for cancer treatment were quite public. I do clearly recall that his healthy situation even in December was clearly noted as being at grave risk. It doesn't follow then that such potentially destabilizing news would be released if in fact stability was an issue.
Nice try, but the reality dictates that fact must exist. As my Bandar example notes - rumors based on fiction are not the same as rumors based on fact - and it is far from clear that the original rumor was fact.
