This is the second time Hugo Chavez has declared himself cured of prostate cancer. He lied last time and there is an election coming up...
CARACAS (Reuters) — Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez declared himself fully recovered from cancer on Monday, three months before an election in which he is seeking another six-year term.
“Free, free, totally free,” he told reporters when asked if he was free of the disease that struck a year ago.
The 57-year-old socialist leader was first diagnosed with cancer in the pelvic region in mid-2011. He wrongly declared himself cured at the end of that year before having a recurrence of the disease in February.
But after repeated cycles of treatment in Cuba and Venezuela, Chavez is once again declaring himself fully fit at a crucial time when his health is the main wild card before the October 7 presidential vote.

I wish he'd do the world a favor and drop dead. Is that really asking so much?
