On a four-nation tour, Chavez plans to make similar pitches for a "grand South American alliance" to Ecuador and Bolivia later this week, spreading energy and financial deals that leverage Venezuela's vast oil and natural gas reserves. On Tuesday in Argentina, he announced Venezuela will buy $1 billion in bonds this year, half immediately.

When President Bush visited Uruguay five months ago during a Latin American tour, Chavez appeared at a soccer stadium rally in neighboring Argentina where he shouteded "Gringo, go home!"

Watching this is like having front row seats to a hypnotist show. Chavez will soon have everyone on stage quacking like ducks. Stay tuned!!
