Oh man, this is really gross – Hugo Chavez is bed with Marc Rich, the most corrupt speculator of all, a guy who makes George Soros look like a sweet little daisy. Rich is the ultimate sleaze in the world of capitalism, in bed with every dictator and criminal out there. I know a lot of speculators myself but none, not one, ever wants anything to do with his tainted name. They back away from him like salt from pepper in a bowl of water not out of fear or shame, for they have none, but out of disgust. They don’t want to be associated with crooks.

Rich is the guy who got the pardon from Bill Clinton in his final disgusting act in return for campaign contributions via Marc’s ex-wife Denise Rich. Now Rich, through a company where he’s a major shareholder, is buying oil in suspect transactions with Hugo Chavez. For political reasons. Of all the people the supposedly anti-capitalist Chavez could deal with, somehow Rich is the one Chavez chooses to do business with. Why is it that any time something incredibly vile goes on, Marc Rich’s name turns up?
