Barbara Does Hugo

In case you missed Barbra Walters’ drooling interview with Hugo Chavez here’s a link to part of the interview. This interview was an exclusive since El Hefe does not grant interviews very often. So why would Hugo grant Babs an interview? Maybe it’s because she asked him hard-hitting questions like, "You, Mr. President, do not have the best reputation in our country; you know that yourself. What’s the biggest misconception about you?" She also showed clips of poor folks in both Venezuela and the U.S. saying that Hugo is a great guy and she was able to find out that he drinks no fewer than 26 cups of coffee a day. Watching the interview I not only learned that my gag reflex is working just fine, but I also learned that Barbara Walters is not exclusively Rosie O’Donnell’s sycophantic lackey.
