00:00But who can tell these days what's satire, what's real?
00:03Now to something that sounds like it belongs in a sketch comedy show.
00:06Here is the president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro,
00:10breaking into song, singing John Lennon's Imagine
00:13as he talks about rising US tensions.
00:18Oh, he's scared all right.
00:19Imagine us people.
00:30What a beautiful song, he says.
00:39He tells the young ones to look up the lyrics.
00:42I mean, this is rich work from a brutal wannabe dictator.
00:46I'm no warmonger, but watching that,
00:49it gets me a hankering for some stealth bombers over Caracas.
00:52But for the record, the lyrics of Imagine are not inspirational.
00:56They're stupid.
00:57They're inane.
00:58They're a teenage girl.
