    Cuba airs new photos of convalescing Hugo Chavez

    HAVANA (AP) — Cuban state television aired a series of photos Tuesday evening showing a convalescing Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez meeting with Fidel Castro two weeks after undergoing urgent surgery on the island.

    The nightly newscast said the encounter took place in the morning and the two longtime friends "reminisced about the past" in the company of family members.

    Chavez seemed healthy and animated as he talked and smiled alongside Castro in what appeared to be the patio and living room of a house. Both leaders wore track suits, as they did in other pictures taken June 17. Between the still photos, state TV briefly aired some live video of Chavez as well.

    Cuban television did not say when Chavez might return to Venezuela.

    The normally loquacious Venezuelan president underwent surgery in Cuba two weeks ago and has been unusually quiet since then. Officials said it was for a pelvic abscess, an accumulation of pus that can have various causes, including infection or surgical complications.

    Chavez's silence and seclusion since then spurred growing speculation in Venezuela and elsewhere that he might be seriously ill, but allies of the leftist leader inisisted he was firmly in control of the country and recovering from the operation.

      A typical propaganda photo. Nobody knows if it is authentic or not except Castro, Chavez and close associates.

      The lovers are united. Lovebirds. Hugo head over heels for Fidel. Of course, convalescing from syphilis.

      Chavez is a pelvic abscess upon Venezuela. Soon this infection will be removed.

      TV in Cuba sucks. Imagine that the State is in control of what you watch.

      Whatever health problem Chavez has, I hope the CIA had something to do with it - my tax dollars at work! Let's hope it's painful, contagious (and the Castro brothers catch it), and fatal. SIC SEMPER ALL COMMIES!
    • MWilliams  •  11 mths ago
      So what's the real story.. is Chavez afraid to have his fellow countrymen medically treat him at home, or is he hiding a more serious illness and don't want it leaking out to his public?

      I wonder how long before he smells the sulpher? Hasta la vista, baby.
