Blame it on Hugo?

Venezuela's Acting President is crediting Hugo Chavez for the selection of Latin America's first Pope.

Really.

No, really.

"We know that our commander ascended to the heights and is face-to-face with Christ," Maduro said at a Caracas book fair. "Something influenced the choice of a South American pope, someone new arrived at Christ's side and said to him: 'Well, it seems to us South America's time has come.'"

I'm surprised that instead of Lenin-izing Chavez's corpse, they didn't claim that his tomb was empty and he must have been resurrected.

People, do you think this BS will continue after the election next month?

What would you like Chavez to get Jesus to do? Tell me in the comments.
