Radio Chavez Plays New Tune

Venezuela's Radio Bemba is playing a different tune this morning.

Yesterday's tune:

I'm not a doctor. I'm not at Fidel's bedside but he's not in a serious condition as some say, nor does he have cancer,"

He said (to me) it's a slow recovery process not without risk. He's 80 years old,"

Today:

From Bloomberg

Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Cuban President Fidel Castro's health is in a ``delicate situation,'' Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said after a Spanish newspaper reported Castro was in serious condition following three surgeries on his large intestine.

``There was a serious complication,'' Chavez, a key ally, said in a televised speech tonight in Caracas. ``He's been in a delicate situation. We ask God for Fidel's recovery.''

``Some are saying Fidel has died,'' Chavez said. ``Well, everyone dies some day.''

I like the second tune a lot better, but the radio station has got to go.
