Alberto Nolia and Tania Díaz of VTV’s *Dando y Dando* discuss the latest
efforts of Majunche Capriles Radonsky to usurp the mantle of Chavecito.
Unfortunately for Majunche, the campaign has hit a major
snag.<http://www.aporrea.org/oposicion/n225476.html> Guess
what that snag is…

*Journalist Alberto Nolia stated that Henrique Capriles Radonski has not
the slightest chance of winning the coming presidential elections on April
14.*
*

Interviewed by Tania Díaz on the Dando y Dando segment of the VTV program All
Venezuela, Nolia stated that the right-wing candidate has intellectual and
discursive limitations, which is why he cannot successfully challenge the
candidacy of acting president Nicolás Maduro.

Nolia castigated Capriles for trying to take on rhetoric similar to that of
the late Hugo Chávez, emphasizing that the strategy is a mistake: “This
caveman [Capriles] wants to make himself look like Chávez and criticizes
Nicolás Maduro for mentioning him!”

Likewise, he commended the way the socialist candidate Nicolás Maduro has
conducted his campaign: “Maduro is campaigning the way he truly is, at the
side of the people.”
*

*Nolia addressed the right-wing candidate (by way of recommendation) that
he withdraw from the elections, and continue to do what he has been doing
up to now: “despoiling the state of Miranda.”*

Translation mine.

Isn’t it funny? First the opposition has tried (unsuccessfully) to position
itself as more Bolivarian than
Bolívar<http://www.sabinabecker.com/2013/03/the-ironies-of-the-venezuelan-opposition-part-4.html>;
now it’s trying to look more Chavista than Chávez. And judging by that
fuzzy caterpillar on his
face<http://www.sabinabecker.com/2013/03/the-ironies-of-the-venezuelan-opposition-part-2.html>,
Majunche is also trying to outdo someone at something:

*“Mirror, mirror…do I look more mature?”*

That’s a pun, hon. “Maduro” is Spanish for “mature”…and no, Majunche, you
will never get there. Not even on the superficial level that seems to be
the only thing the inbred twits of the Venezuelan upper classes can grasp
or handle. While you’re in front of the mirror twiddling your weedy
‘stache, the man you keep deriding as a “mere” bus driver is drawing
closer…and come the 14th, he’s gonna roll that shiny new Metrobus right
over you. Probably while you’re busy with an eyebrow pencil, trying to draw
a mole on your forehead that looks just like the one Chavecito had.
