Hugo Chavez: Embalmed, for all to see

Acting Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro said today that Hugo Chavez's body will be permanently displayed.

This note comes with a little bit of ‘ewwww’ attached.

The acting president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, said today the body of his late predecessor Hugo Chavez will be permanently displayed in a glass casket so that — and this is a quote — “his people will always have him.”

Not the first time — think Mao and Lenin and Ho Chi Minh.
