An ancient recipe put to work

That's what el Mico did. He got the oldest page of the book of tyranical politics and read it twice and put it to work. The secret, as my colleague KillCastro brillianty stated, is just to give the populace some solace.
This has been working from pre-Roman times, and quite well.
A tyrant to be just needs to feed the lumpen-proletariat, just needs to inebriate the lumpen proletariat, not even with promises, but with old fashioned cheap alcohol. Like kasstro did in Cuba, and has kept on doing till a few months ago.
The mobs are always fueled by some low end alcohol, and some food. Then a veil of "ideology" is thrown over the chusma, and voila, you've got a revolutionary mob.
Well, el Mico Putumayo applied the lesson from uncle fidel and from all other tyrants before them. With the same great results. He even added some macho shock value, in the form of reminders of his deranged tirade against Bush at the U.N. The lumpen loves a mob leader with cojones, and that tirade was perceived among the lumpen-proletariat of Venezuela as if el Mico was sporting a pair of cojones, which we all very well know he lacks.
I have to say, el Mico doesn't have a che guevara on his side, Venezuela has not seen anything like concentration camps or fusilamientos as we saw in Cuba. His brutality comes only from the brutality of his drunken mobs.
Amazingly enough, the Venezuelan opposition had free press, antichavez TV, freedom of assembly, guns, mobilization resources, anti-chavez army officers, and money, not to mention the extraordinairy plus represented by the whole world looking at the election circus. Very different from the decimated opposition movement in Cuba, to say the least. And they also know very well what happened in Cuba.
What did Manuel Rosales do at midnight? A concession speech. He conceeded. Very nice, very quick, and very easy. He betrayed all the anti-chavez movement with a concession speech. The Venezuelan patriots were ready to take the streets, but their opposition leader goes and surrender to Chavez and his chusma.
Instead of denouncing in front of the world that freedom, personal liberties, and the future of the Venezuelan nation had been stolen by means of fraud, force, and manipulation of the masses, Monsieur Rosales went on and legalized the communist take over of his nation with a few words. Which leaves me with a doubt: was this part of a chavo-communist plot to legitimize the regime?

Update:
kasstro congratulates el Mico, with a beyond ridiculous note, as it proper for a senile bastard.
