The Chavez Book Club

If Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's vitriolic speech before the United Nations General Assembly, Wednesday, proved anything, it's that there is no such thing as bad press. During his two-hour rant on Bush's satanic identity, the communist leader took time to plug Noam Chomsky's Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Domination.
Chavez's impassioned endorsement has jolted sales of the linguist's 2003 book from relative obscurity to Amazon's top 5 in less than 36 hours.
