I always like Cuban\/Venezuelan actress Maria Conchita Alonzo.<\/p>\n

I mean, duh:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

She was the most bearable part of Moscow on the Hudson<\/a>, <\/em>among a bunch of other movies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But best of all?\u00a0 She’s got a jones for beating on Hugo Chavez<\/a>!<\/p>\n

From Hannity and Colmes, live from the protests over Chavez’ imposition of the Venezuelan version of the “Fairness Doctrine” via shutting down Venezuela’s last independent TV station:<\/p>\n

ALONSO:<\/strong> Of course Chavez doesn’t listen. He’s not going to listen. So something drastic is going to happen, sadly. You know, I know that the students are being very peaceful. I know that they have been few very incidents with certain students outside of the capital.<\/p>\n

There are a few students that are in critical condition. But, you know, they don’t talk about that. They are demanding what was taken from us, which was the closure of Radio Caracas Television, because the government said that, you know, it was doing a lot of propaganda against the government. And it has done a lot of bad things through the years.<\/p>\n

You know, it seems that is what they know how to say best, which is lies.<\/p>\n

COLMES:<\/strong> As we all know the hallmark of a democracy is a free press, and this is the worst thing you can do in a government that was elected. \u2014 He got 60 percent of the vote. People question the veracity of the election, but nevertheless, he was democratically elected.<\/p>\n

So the question is can he retain power if he continues this kind of action?<\/p>\n

ALONSO:<\/strong> We go again with you! He was not democratically elected<\/em> .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And on life in a “populist” dictatorship, where the “village” wants to raise your child…:<\/p>\n

ALONSO:<\/strong> People hate each other \u2014 we have never had that before. If you’re white, the blacks hate you. If you are black, the whites hate you. If you’re an Indian everybody hates you, and you hate everybody. People live in fear of speaking out.<\/p>\n

All the students are amazing for us to follow what they are doing because, you know, when you are that young, you feel you are invincible.<\/p>\n

So right now we all have to feel with our hearts and spirits, our mind as we \u2014 like the youngsters are fighting, really, for the freedom of our country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
