The cynicism of the Vice-President

June 17, 2003

For those that missed it, the highest cynic in the land, Vice-President Jose Vicente Rangel, said yesterday in El Universal (page A-2):


“I like to provoke stupid reactions making up phrases for the enjoyment of my adversaries. I deliberately act many times to provoke. Stupidity has no limits. I tell my friends many times I am going to say this thing and I know exactly how they are going to respond. I have many hours flying”


Well, perhaps Mr. Rangel in his immense stupidity and cynicism does not realize that he is the Vice-President of Venezuela and we expect him to say the truth and act democratically. He is not running a TV show to entertain people, but is running a country. As Tal Cual says today, now that we know he lies, should we pay attention at all? Rangel also suggests there is no time for the recall referendum; we should choose not to believe him, no?
