-- here folks he's contributed Judy.

I was impressive reading just going around the media landscape.

Last night seeing.

Those who described -- much much is -- I guess reflecting what many venezuelans think.

That was that section of the media saying this is the passing all the dictate you know that we should all celebrate his Nazi.

And then there are others you know I was reading that the guardian -- but more liberal paper in Britain obviously.

Saying that he leaves a legacy of literacy and then and health care for the -- -- -- -- of mixed bag.

Which one would expect I -- Yes exactly one would expect that except some journalists seem to have taken me speak no ill of the dead you -- dreams.

And we must talk about it mr.

frank -- Jack -- ATP and who wrote the most laudatory.

Obituary I have just about ever read and I read it I didn't play well in -- 24 or 25.

Graph you accept the -- -- find out where most people have stopped -- he gets around to mentioning.

Certain problems and flaws his tendency towards being a strong man you.

The fact that he wasn't always sympathetic to -- people who disagreed with him.

But in fact he had brought criminal charges against some of them and force them to flee but that's so far different story that -- almost know -- -- read it I guess this is it.

This is part of what you're saying as well Christopher that.

This bill will help.

The Euro -- is this so to speak ill of the -- the sympathy vote -- definitely -- -- add to that Israel shall it and treated yesterday that you and and US lost a great friend that it never knew it had a I had not.

And god you have to remember also Oliver Stone who said he mourns the passing I think great hero guns so he definitely had -- advocates.

-- illegal to show you that no matter what you do and how autocratic you may be if you -- cloak what you do.

Is sort of being pro poor.

It helps that he could force people some of the time -- point -- point Judy did that cloaking what you do is helping them home.

Well actually there isn't natural tendency if he -- speak about you know making all people -- more equal and give it creating opportunity without actually doing that last.

People tend to like that in Hollywood and in certain sectors of the media now you know there were.

On many publications.

That did highlight like Reuters for example very important.

That highlighted his coup attempts his assaults on democracy.

He's violations of human right yeah.

I have a a friend who is saying.

A game Venezuelan playwright and when he says Kaufman very popular who said that Chavez while talking about helping -- -- Actually repressed human rights and you depress the economy in general and squeezed the middle -- but that's you get very balanced right balance for so hard -- -- I think if we look at all of those things that the Chavez did.

Am -- in his vice president very much beholden -- Chavis for his own career in politics from bus driver to vice president.

How do you see him governing if indeed he does.

When this is what at one point what Judy certainly limited with funniest people to assume troubles with a laugh what he wasn't actually -- -- He really thought was very much old styled populist didn't change -- dictator there's nothing left about it here's anti gay rights and use anti zionist you.

Was he was anti human rights and there was this little that was not a -- he was hoping was that isn't well -- -- -- staged -- -- except that he never met an enemy of the United States and he didn't live right here.

A little added yeah I agree.

So let's get to -- what went how do you think if he wins as as you predict he will have as he got.

Well he's got a ride herd over -- very heterogeneous -- this was the party was held together.

By Hugo Chavez's.

Charisma and his.

Extreme micro management -- were no decisions that were made in government without his approval so.

-- balance the competing interest within the party and in the party got business is you've got the military.

You've got unions -- got these armed militias.

On any -- or die hard -- old style Soviet Communists.

This is very very diverse and contentious.

And he's gonna have to do without having the charismatic.

Capacity of -- it -- -- a typical ride I think you'll probably see.

You know this party begin to splinter over the over the course of time especially as -- confronted.

A very difficult and problematic economic situation with inflation Reid you're up 30% -- which again provides opportunities for the United States -- Yes it -- I found it interesting that the statement that was issued in the name of the president in the White House.

Did not praise Chavez he did -- comes out.

Or criticize and -- talked about.

Are America's very warm feelings towards the Venezuelan people.

And that always tells you that they're out of the White House is being very very cautious and it's heading it's.

That's what quick thing of note was actually kill yourself the president of Brazil in announcing her -- sort of sending -- -- all of a -- -- -- -- -- -- policy -- Which of these interest -- you begin to -- little bit of that separation within that within the continent now finally.

-- from the excessively workshop.

All right LA final at Christmas Sabatini fascinated -- to present -- relatives seated -- -- policy.

At the American society and counsel of the Americas really interest to have you think Luxembourg and Judy Miller calls Fox News contributor out one of the -- all FOX News Watch.
