| Festively Clad Finnegan Says He's Feeling "Hugo" |

| And there was also a lighter side to today's house meeting. Senior member and UDP Party Whip Michael Finnegan was suitably dressed for the pre-Christmas House Meeting - when he digressed to a matter of public interest: those anti-Dean Barrow ads that you see on the news every night.
He says he's feeling Hugo Chavez, not Barack Obama in the Mesopotamia division:..
Hon. Michael Finnegan
"They have an advertisement where they tried to demonize the Prime Minister. I don't know if you look bad and you are simple because you say Obama don't give us anything - God knows it's true. I don't feel him in Mesopotamia at all. I feel Hugo in Mesopotamia and I am not an ideological kind of politician but I am telling you the truth - I feel Hugo there. Then what is it to stand up and tell the man from IDB Moreno that he is a coward and he is basically in my view dishonest because he renege on what he promise to the Prime Minister. I would want to be the Prime Minister - I want to be manly like you sir - it shows that you have "bolas.""
The Special Sitting started at the very unusual hour of 1:30 pm and finished just before 6:00.
It is of note that NBC News had a full crew at the meeting to capture the lively exchange in the House - and to interview the Prime Minister about…what else? John McAfee.
