Er Conde en Er Guachinton Pos
The Guachinton Pos picks up an AP story about Rausseo…
“He’s ugly, I’m ugly … I talk, he talks. But the difference is I live in Venezuela,” he quipped, in a gibe at the frequent overseas travels of the Venezuelan
leader, who has been on a three- continent tour since last week.
Rausseo, who is also a successful businessman with hotels and other enterprises, grew up poor and left school at 11 to support his family as a shoeshine boy, street vendor and taxi driver.
On Friday he told supporters that even if he cracks jokes on the campaign trail, he’s serious about combatting crime, creating jobs, winning the trust of foreign investors and healing a divided nation.
