No One Parties Like Hugo

So now Kevin Spacey has gone down to Venezuela to "meet with" commie dictator Hugo Chavez. Am I missing something? Ok, I get that you're an America-hating hollywood liberal; still, what's the attraction to going halfway around the world to meet with Chavez. What's he offering? Since commies are typically as capitalist as anybody when it comes to making them money, maybe it's that mention of a studio company. Maybe they are all trying to get in on the ground floor of, what they see as, the next Sundance, but better, because it's even more independant of Hollywood, and even more communist than Robert Redford, at least a little.
