Hugo Chavez 'Clinging to Life'

Things are not looking good for Hugo Chavez. Unlike the rosy updates we were hearing earlier this year, the latest report on the Venezuelan leader's health has him battling a "severe" new respiratory infection and breathing problems, CNN reports. His condition is "very delicate," per the official statement read on state-run TV last night, as he receives "high-impact chemotherapy" and other treatments for his cancer, Reuters reports. "The commander-president remains clinging to Christ and to life, conscious of the difficulties that he is facing," says Venezuela's information minister.
