Hugo Chavez greases some palms
....right here in the U.S.!
He's flinging money all over the place. The Venezuelan dictator has written another $60,000 check to Gucci-Gulch K Street Lobbyist Segundo Mercado-Llorens, a real pig who once had this lovely correspondence with our friend Aleksander Boyd.
Can you believe this uncouth - sorry, the only word for him is 'dickhead' - is even capable of holding a job? He's just Chavez's type.
Alek has the whole dripping irony of how this dictator-apologist gets paid as much as 53 Venezuelans in the same time period for touting a communist thug who hollers that 'to be rich is wrong. It's not the first check he's gotten from the dollar-bill-burning dictator, either.
The next question: What did Segundo deliver to Hugo Chavez for those $60,000? It certainly wasn't an improved image - Chavez's name stinks worse than ever in the states. Did he buy some politician off? Was Mercado-Llorens responsible for this soggy Chavez-friendly statement by Congressman Dan Burton? Stupid as Chavez is, I don't think he gives something for nothing. In the past Segundo was paid $50,000. Now, his paychecks are 20% higher in less than the span of a year, quite a good performance bonus for a few months' work.
What did Segundo Mercado Llorens do to get such a sudden fat raise?

As much as it pains me, I'll bet that Chavez' image benefited from Pat Robertson's assassination talk. Not that most people have any clue about Chavez, but because Robertson is seen as such a bobble-head.
