Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez claims capitalism may have ended life on Mars

If I were a Venezuelan citizen, I would be hiding my face in shame right about now. Hugo Chavez has come out with some outrageous statements in the past, but this has to take the cake.
"I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet," Chavez said in speech to mark World Water Day.I want to know where this man's keepers are and who let him off his leash?

Here is a link to the whole story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110322/od_nm/us_venezuela_chavez_mars;_ylt=ArVbnrxLejF_tNT9b5xt Pa2s0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTFmNDBlanFtBHBvcwMyMDEEc2VjA2Fj Y29yZGlvbl9vZGRfbmV3cwRzbGsDY2hhdmV6c2F5c2Nh

Damn, you beat me to posting this! I had to re-read that article a couple times just to make sure that I hadn't missed something, like someone posting "Early April Fools!". I still can't believe he said that with a straight face.

Capitalism may be to blame for the lack of life on the planet Mars, Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday.

OMG this guy has lost it, everyone knows it was the Cloud people from Jupiter that brought Socialism to Mars that lead to the demise of the little green guys : )

And the interesting thing about this guy is that he was an intelligent person with his heart in the right place. Some may dispute his methods but he was a "man of the people" , that was a long time ago. He clearly lost it along the way!
He is a very interesting character is Mr Chavez.
