Chavez Tomb

From USA Today:
"Venezuela: Chávez remains to be on view indefinitely"

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez's remains will be specially embalmed so they can be kept on view indefinitely to inspire future generations, the country's vice president said. "The remains will be kept in a crystal coffin, just like Ho Chi Minh, Mao and Lenin," Vice President Nicolas Maduro said in a television broadcast from the military academy where Chávez's body is  The president's initial resting place will be an army post in the mountain overlooking Caracas from where Chávez launched his first coup in 1992, Maduro said. The command post is being converted into a Museum of the Revolution.

^ Thsi is just stupid. The way they are discribing the crowds waiting to see his body reminded me of the story in Pravda about Stalin's death in 1953. Of course several years later he was named a murderous dictator and his body removed from Lenin's tomb. I am curious to see if the same thing happens in a few years with Chavez's body. ^
