Ozzie Guillen: Legitimate President of Venezuela
Written by Paul Hauss- January 24, 2019
Crisis has hit Venezuela, which is so
perpetually ridden in crises that
specifications need to be made that this is
actually a new crisis. The United States and
other members of the International Community
are beginning to formally recognize Juan
Guaido, who is decidedly not the president
of Venezuela, as the president of Venezuela.
The necessity of supporting the legitimacy
of President Nicolas Maduro as president of
Venezuela against this coup is publicly
recognized by other governments, such as
those of Cuba, Bolivia, and shockingly,
Venezuela.
Given Sammy Sosa's longtime friendship
with the late Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez, we proudly consider ourselves at
Sammy Sosa's Playhouse to be experts in
Venezuelan policy. Given that President
Maduro is the ideolgoical heir and political
successor to Friend of Sammy Hugo Chavez, it
might be expected of us to critically
support Maduro against American imperialism,
but given that we are prodigal sons of the
Blairite 90s, we see it as fitting to seek a
third way. Since you can apparently
recognize someone who is quite objectively
not a country's president, as their
president, we will be doing exactly that.
The Playhouse respects the
sovereignty and independence of the
Venezuelan people and their government, but
in the interest of the global unity and
peace that seems out of the Maduro
government's grasp, it seems the South
American nation needs their prodigal son to
assume his place as the new skipper.
Today, The Playhouse officially
recognizes three-time All-Star and manager
of the 2005 World Seres Champion White Sox,
Ozzie Guillen, as the President of
Venezuela.
President Ozzie Guillen, a
Venezuelan native, specializes in making the
best of unideal positions. While the 2005
White Sox may not have had the most athletic
team, and their legendary superstar Frank
Thomas missed most of the season due to
injury, it was President Guillen's
leadership that engendered the smart
small-ball tactics such as well-timed bunts,
hit-and-runs, and stolen bases that allowed
even Scott Podsednik to become an October
Hero. President Guillen has great foreign
policy experience as well. Cuba is a crucial
ally to the South American oil giant, and
Ozzie Guillen has spoken extensively of his
respect and admiration for late Cuban
President Fidel Castro.
Most importantly, Ozzie Guillen is a Friend
of Sammy. Besides playing with the
Jheri-curled Sosa in his early days on the
South Side, President Guillen has
continually defended Sammy in the face of
Baseball Journalist Imperialism (BJI). While
the imperialists over at the BBWAA
chastiszed Sammy over his claims that he put
Chicago "on the map", it was Ozzie Guillen
who had the courage to say to NBC Sports
Chicago that "People know who the Cubs were
because Sammy put them back on the map."
Venezuela deserves someone like Ozzie
Guillen, who is not only an expert in
cartography, but will always defend the
troubled nation from its opponents.
