Biden says Venezuela 'concocting' bogus stories

45. When you keep repeating the same word, over and over again, like a

toddler who has learned a swear, I know I've bested you in debate, particularly when you can't even get the basic points straight.

Here's that "right wing source" I quoted.

Venezuela's poor join protests as turmoil grips Chávez's revolution

The poor neighbourhood of Petare in western Caracas is not an obvious hotbed of anti-government sentiment. In the past, its residents have been among the major beneficiaries of Venezuela's public health and education campaigns, and an economic policy that resulted in one of the sharpest falls in inequality in the world.

But as demonstrations sweep several major cities, even the people of Petare have taken to the streets to protest again surging inflation, alarming murder rates and shortages of essential commodities.

Jorge Farias, a self-employed motorcycle taxi driver, once voted for the late president Hugo Chávez, but this week he joined opposition rallies.

"This country can't stay like this for much longer. If it's not lack of food, it is the fear of being killed when you step out of your house to go to work", he said. "I would like to wake up without this fear," he added. "I have never seen this country in this state of total collapse. We are going from bad to worse, and we are losing faith".

"Ya esta bueno ya", is phrase which Venezuelans are hearing with increasing frequency. Roughly translated as "Enough already", the slogan captures a wide-spread sense of discontent and growing uncertainty over the country's future.

It's called The Guardian--Glenn Greenwald used to work for it; George Galloway loves it.

So, yeah--ya esta bueno ya.

Now run along.
