Poetic?
By Mitch Berg
The Venezuelan monument to child-murdering thug and lefty collegiate hero Che Guevara was destroyed:
A glass monument to revolutionary icon Ernesto “Che” Guevara was shot up and destroyed less than two weeks after it was unveiled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s government.
Images of the 8-foot-tall glass plate bearing Guevara’s image, now toppled and shattered, were shown Friday on state television, which said the entire country “repudiated” the vandalism.
The monument on an Andean mountain highway near the city of Merida was unveiled Oct. 8 by Vice President Jorge Rodriguez and Cuba’s ambassador to Venezuela to mark the 40th anniversary of Guevara’s death.
While Venezuela “repudiates” the “vandalism”, this blog applauds it, and offers the vandals (upon confirmation) a beer while in Saint Paul.
