Hugo Chavez' favorite daughter makes UN debut as US bashed

By CARA ANNA
Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- The favorite daughter of Venezuela's late leader Hugo Chavez has made her debut as her country's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations at an event where countries lined up to slam the United States for its recent sanctions against Venezuelan officials.

Maria Gabriela Chavez, who was named to the post last August, confirmed Wednesday this was her first public event in her new role. "I'm here to learn," she told The Associated Press.

Chavez was introduced to applause as Venezuela hosted a "Day of Solidarity" to protest the U.S. sanctions. Cuba's representative said it was an honor to speak in her presence.

Russia, Iran and others criticized the U.S. sanctions that were imposed over human rights abuses during anti-government protests.

1. If she runs for President

She will win.

8. But here at DU we don't like DYNASTIES!

So I was told.

[geek tragedy]

2. she sounds very well-qualified. I'm sure she got the position based on her professional

experience, and not nepotism.

3. Looks like Maduro would like to move into the Presidential palace one day. nt

4. Good for her, and if she's feeling homesick in New York

she can always stand on the sidewalk for 8 hours before going in to a store to buy a roll of toilet paper.

5. Wonder what her qualifications are besides being Huguito's daughter

As far as I know, she never went to any school and never actually learned anything about politics. The only diplomatic experience she has is traveling on the presidential plane and getting out wherever it lands to do some shopping at the local luxury outlets.

6. What kind of dad announces who his favorite daughter is?

One who doesn't understand the art of fatherhood.

9. Did her dad announce that?

Or was it announced by some headline-writer?

To your question: what kind of dad announces who his favorite daughter is? A dad who has one daughter.

12. I have NEVER heard of any father claiming one of his daughters was his "favorite," have you?

That's highly unlikely, unless the man is a drooling idiot.

[Judi Lynn]

10. I have no doubt that was the free speech liberty taken by the "journalist."

I've NEVER seen any remark made by the man regarding her as his "favorite." She is the one who is unmarried, and has been free to travel occassionally with her father during his Presidency.

It was the anti-Chavez private media, from sources like Fox "News" which started referring to her as his favorite.

11. Are you freaking kidding me? WTF?

[Judi Lynn]

13. Perhaps it was meant to pass as "wit", for some reason. n/t

[libdem4life]

14. IDC, when you're invoking gallows humor, at best, it at least deserves a Sarcasm thingy.

[Judi Lynn]

17. The poster should have struggled to include the "humor" part. Couldn't hurt. n/t
