South American Communists Chumming it Up

Bolivia's new Marxoid president visited Venezuela to a warm reception. Worrisome quote from the Prensa Latina article:

Morales´ election victory is seen as a continuation of the Latin American integration process, in which Venezuela has become an important reference.

I can't be sure, but I think this is Latin American for "the gringoes are distracted by the Middle East and we can be as red as we want to be, at least for the moment."
