The New York Time and Chavez

This obituary in the Times is so petty and so silly that it is laughable.  They strive to pick on his but come up with silly things like:  "He also basked in the comforts allowed him as head of state in a nation with some of the largest oil reserves outside the Middle East. He traveled in a luxurious Airbus A-319."  Are you serious?  I am sure that the private jet of a Saudi baby prince is more luxurious than his jet.  And how do you know that it is luxurious? Is it gold plated like Saudi princes jets?
