From reading many posts by Rodbolt over the last few years i believe that Rod loves Venezuela, but very much dislikes Hugo Chavez and his Marxist policies.
He never considered Hugo any kind of Buddy. Just another tyrannical maniacal contemporary of Gee Willikers who'd probably be buddies if they didn't have a seething detestation of eachother. As in magnetism, Polar equals Repel dontcha know.
