Washed-up Cokehead: I Hate the U.S.

Drug addicts will do and say anything for a fix, including pimping themselves out to communist dictators.

Which may well explain why Argentina's Diego Maradona had some really stupid things to say while appearing with the idiot Hugo Chavez.

CARACAS (Reuters) - Former Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona on Sunday said he hates the United States "with all my strength" during an appearance on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's weekly television show.

The leftist soccer legend, like the fiercely anti-U.S. Chavez, is a close ally of Cuba's Fidel Castro.

"I believe in Chavez, I am Chavista ... . Everything Fidel does, everything Chavez does for me is the best (that can be done)," Maradona said, sitting with Chavez on the set of the president's Sunday talk show.

"I hate everything that comes from the United States. I hate it with all my strength," he added to thunderous applause and cheering from the hundreds of Chavez supporters gathered in an auditorium for the show.

Frankly, I thought this moron was dead. Last I saw, he could barely get around.
