Loyalists who lack the necessary training

Hugo Chavez on Nightline tonight.

The US decertifies Venezuela as a country helping the US on drugs (keep in mind that Venezuela, unlike Colombia or Peru, doesn’t actually produce any coca, but coca does transit Venezuelan territory on the way to the US). Here’s what I like about the State Dept statement: it says the people in charge of anti-narcotics efforts “were fired and replaced with Chávez loyalists who lack the necessary training.” Cuz the Bush admin is definitely opposed to that sort of thing.

Today was the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance. I hope you all prayed and remembered, in accordance with federal law.

The Cabinet that prays together, stays together.
