Scott Johnson at Power Line<\/a> posted an article today reminding us of the movie “Weekend at Bernie’s<\/a>.” If you remember the movie, it dealt with a pair of party animals throwing a party at their dead boss’ house and trying to convince their guests that their boss was still alive. That seems to be where we are in the story of Hugo Chavez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the U. K Daily Mail<\/a> reported yesterday:<\/p>\n

Sources at the hospital in Cuba where he is being treated this week told a Spanish newspaper<\/a>\u00a0 in an induced coma being kept alive by life support he was showing ‘very weak’ vital signs, adding that doctors could decide to switch off the machines ‘at any moment’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vice President<\/a> Nicolas Maduro<\/a>, whom Chavez last month designated as his heir apparent, said in an interview from Havana that Chavez had recognized the complexity of his post-operative condition.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maduro said he was returning to Venezuela after several days visiting with Chavez and his relatives, which may quell rumors his trip to Cuba signaled the president was in his final days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So what happens when Hugo Chavez dies? Ramon Aveledo, head of the opposition Democratic Unity coalition, has stated\u00a0 if Chavez cannot make it back in time, he should hand power over to the president of Congress – who would temporarily run the country while elections are called.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Congress, controlled by Chavez allies, on Saturday elects a new president. Current Congress chief Diosdado Cabello<\/a>, a close Chavez ally who could be reelected to head the legislature, has at times been considered a rival of Maduro (Vice President Nicolas Maduro, whom Chavez last month designated as his heir apparent).<\/span> The two have taken great pains in recent weeks to publicly deny this.<\/span><\/p>\n

It really does sound like “Weekend at Bernie’s.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
