Feathers has an amusing photograph of Freddy Bernal, the MVR mayor of the Libertador Municipality in Caracas, doing his best George W. Bush impersonation in full cowboy getup. Bernal is one of Hugo Chavez’s most loyal henchmen in the city. He gained some infamy in his own right in 2002, when he was secretly taped ordering members of the Bolivarian Circles to attack civilians who were peacefully demonstrating against the Chavez regime. Several people were killed as a result.
