An emotional and weeping Chavez confesses that he can no longer walk at a rally in Apure. Slip of the tongue or once again appealing to pity?
This article has a short video of an harangue by el Presidente Chavez, at the end of which he says -- with tears in his eyes -- "As you know, I can no longer walk through the streets of San (unintelligible)." I do not know what it means, if anything, but there is probably no street in Venezuela where Chavez could not walk safely with adequate security provided by his Red Shirts and others. It may mean that his cancer, apparently located where further metastasis could prevent him from walking normally, has become dramatically worse. Or it may just be a plea for another "cancer sympathy bounce" as he had upon his return from Cuba several months ago. There will likely be more soon as the story develops.
