You could say the same about Saudi Arabia, Russia... China. None of the domestic political activities of these places have any direct bearing upon you personally, really.
Venezuela internationally/politically/economically isn't as 'insignificant' as all the countries you mentioned, its oil reserves and membership in OPEC make it a country that needs to be watched (by those who care about international economics/politics).
Its not like we're discussing Madagascar here (crappy island nation off the coast of Africa...?)... Chavez/Venezuela have graced American news channels on several occasions over the past few years. He's not a 'nobody' by anyone's standards. If you don't care for international politics no worries, but no need to trumpet that fact to those who do.
