Christian Science Monitor: Surely Hugo Chávez doesn't really hold out hope that President Obama would allow a foreign leader to dictate who the US sends as ambassador to his country. But just in case, the feisty Venezuelan president - who caused a diplomatic row by refusing Mr. Obama's first choice for Washington's new ambassador to Caracas - has a personal short list for the job. Mr. Chávez says he'd take director Oliver Stone, actor Sean Penn, linguist and philosopher (and longtime critic of US foreign policy in Latin America) Noam Chomsky, or - why not? - Bill Clinton.
