rumor<http://www.sabinabecker.com/2013/01/walter-martinez-debunks-a-disgusting-rumor.html>January

Apparently there’s been yet another dirty lie circulating on the Internets
about the health of a certain popular Venezuelan president. A video has
surfaced, purporting to show him in a “critical” state. Would it surprise
you greatly to know that the man in the video above isn’t Chavecito? And
that Venezuelan journalist Walter Martínez has some very harsh
words<http://www.aporrea.org/actualidad/n221857.html> for
the asshole who spread that lie around?

*The host of VTV’s program “Dossier”, Walter Martínez, debunked the video
which is making the rounds of the social networks, in which President
Chávez is supposedly seen during his operation, performed on December 11,
2012.*
*

“This is one more filthy lie, which is being circulated in the electronic
media,” Martínez said.

Martínez also condemned the attitude of the Panamanian ex-ambassador,
Guillermo Cochez, who retransmitted the video to make people believe that
it was Chávez who appeared in it.”

“This is not the 30 seconds the ex-ambassador showed, but the entire three
minutes of an intervention to save the life of a patient, 48 years of age,
whom they were trying to intubate in order to perform a resection of a
hypophyseal adenoma,” Martínez explained.
*

*Martínez explained the procedure on the video step by step, and revealed
the year in which the video had originally appeared on the Internet: “They
published it in 2008. It has nothing to do with what this coprófago, the
former ambassador of Panama to the Organization of American States (OAS),
was trying to do when he took 30 seconds of the video, from a certain
angle, and showed it to everyone in Washington.”*

Translation mine.

*Coprófago* is a very nice, medical-Greek Spanish way of saying
“shit-eater”, literally.

Walter Martínez uses another word, too, one not medicalese, but a Spanish
word which has no English translation: *cochinada,* a noun which implies
piggishness and sloppiness. (Incidentally, there *is* a German equivalent: *
Schweinerei.*) He incorporates that very skilfully into a play on the name
of the ex-ambassador, Cochez, “or Cochon”, he says. *Cochon* is French for
pig.

Yes, that’s right, he called the ex-ambassador of Panama to the OAS a
shit-eating pig.

I’m sure the pigs have every right to feel grievously insulted, as do the
shit-eaters of the world.
