The Daily Telegraph of London reports that, “Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez has ruled out holding a pre-election debate with opponent Henrique Capriles, saying he would be ‘ashamed’ to measure himself against such a ‘nonentity.’”

Increasing his rhetoric in the polarized South American country’s run-up to the October 7 vote, Mr. Capriles responded that Venezuelans are getting tired of hearing the socialist leader’s barrage of insults.

According to the Telegraph, “battling a recurrence of cancer that has kept him off the street. Chavez, 57, leads most major opinion polls by a double-digit margin and officials are exuding confidence of a comfortable re-election win.”

Mr. Chavez has often called Mr. Capriles a “pig” and “loser,” instead of saying his rival’s name.
