He was probably referring to the likes of General Augusto Pinochet.
Or, maybe, Ferdinand Marcos.
Oh.
Ferdinand was a president. Sorry about that.
He just maintained his office in unsavory ways.
Weren't he and Ronnie buddies?
He and his wife have many personas.
Actor Sean Penn lent his support to Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez while in Bolivia, saying that the cancer-stricken leader is "one of the most important forces we've had on this planet."
Penn made a surprise appearance at a candlelight vigil for Chavez in Bolivia on Monday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Chavez is currently in Cuba undergoing his fourth cancer-related surgery since June 2011. “Thank you, Sean,” Venezuelan ambassador Crisbeylee Gonzalez said, according to THR, “for joining us and for wanting to be here. We know President Chavez is a good friend of yours, and you didn’t hesitate one second about coming here with us to this vigil."
“He’s one of the most important forces we’ve had on this planet, and I’ll wish him nothing but that great strength he has shown over and over again. I do it in love, and I do it in gratitude," responded Penn. “I just want to say, from my very American point of view, of my friend President Chavez: It is only possible to be so inspiring as he is, as a two-way street. And he would say that his inspiration is the people.”
...Penn is not the only Chavez fan in Hollywood.
Actor Danny Glover celebrated with Chavez when he won reelection in October.
Oliver Stone championed the Venezuelan president in his 2009 film, "South of the Border." In the film, Stone explores the social and political changes happening in South America, in part, thanks to Chavez.
"If you look now, there are seven presidents, eight countries with Chile, that are really moving away from the Washington consensus control," Stone told the Associated Press. "But in America, they don't get that story." Continuing, "He is a democrat and there is opposition to him, and he's not perfect. But he is doing tremendous things for Venezuela and the region."
