no ace, chavez is not following the pattern of past leaders.
if you're interested, you should check out the film "the revolution will not be televised" for a very interesting account of venezuelan politics, chavez and the last american-backed coup attempt. it was made by an irish television crew that was given a remarkable degree of access to chavez and which happened to be doing their project when the coup attempt happened. it's particularly good on the role conservative television played in mobilizing conservatives around the coup attempt. you should watch it.
