Chavez: Bush is out to kill me

VENEZUELAN leader Hugo Chavez has given an interview to supermodel Naomi Campbell in which he claims George Bush is out to kill him, hails Fidel Castro as a fashion icon and declares that the Duchess of Cornwall is not very good looking.

Campbell was granted an audience with the controversial politician for GQ magazine, where she has a new role as contributing editor.

Mr Chavez described the US government as “genocidal” and US President George W Bush as “completely crazy”.

But in a wide-ranging interview, Campbell also found time to quiz the left-wing leader on sartorial matters.

Required to name “the most stylish world leader”, Mr Chavez replied: “Fidel, of course! His uniform is impeccable. His boots are polished, his beard is elegant.”

The full interview is in the new issue of GQ, on sale on Thursday.
