It seems that chavista pollsters must be reading the numbers right and
that is sending Chavez into a flurry of activity so as to appear to do
something about it, trying desperately to dispel the reality that in
ten years he has done near zilch to plan the energetic future of the
country. Along the way his true egotistical self shows plenty
opportunities to show off, while he accumulates dangerous lapsus brutis.

It all started into his now customary cabinet meeting live on TV, and sometimes even on cadena.
You need to understand first that a live cabinet meeting is not a
working reunion: ministers spend several hours listening to Chavez
rants, leavened occasionally by the scolding to one of their lot. The
scolded idiot nods with his or her head, sure that he will handsomely
rewarded for allowing the beloved leader humiliate him in public.

The
cabinet reunion as usual was extremely useful for the well being of the
country: Chavez explained to us that we needed to take only three
minutes showers, that we had no need for hot water, and that he was
creating a new ministry for electricity. You can see it for yourself in
several Youtube videos, in particular this one below. As a bonus you
get the lapsus bruti of an unhinged Chavez admitting that that his socialism of the XXI century is nothing else than disguised communism.
