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.
