South of the Border, the Cult of the Presidency | Gene Healy | Cato Institute: Commentary: "If you think we've got it bad, pity the Venezuelans, whose strongman president, Hugo Chavez, rules the airwaves with his own talk show. 'Hello, President!' airs Sundays, sometimes for up to eight hours, and it features Chavez singing, insulting his enemies, giving shout-outs to Fidel Castro, and even, on one occasion, describing a gut-wrenching bout of diarrhea he'd had while filming the show."
