Comic for president in Venezuela

Another candidate has launched a bid to unseat Hugo Chavez. No it’s not a seasoned politician or a businessman or a former rebel. It’s popular Venezuelan comedian “El Conde de Guacharo” (image) (real name- Benjamin Rausseo) and he’s seeking help for creating a “Plan of Action” via his campaign website. Venezuelan bloggers are split between delight at El Conde’s run for the presidency, while others are disgusted with the idea.

Aside from being a comic, Rausseo is actually a businessman. He owns hotels.

Thanks. So perhaps Rausseo is not the pushover some critics think he is.
