Whatever else you might say about Venezuela's left-wing aspiring dictator Hugo Chavez, I think it can be stated without fear of contradiction that he's quite likely the sexiest man alive.
Well, that, or that he looks like a butch version of opera diva Montserrat Caballe':

Well, more Venezuelan women have been Miss Universe, I believe, than women from any other nation.
Maybe it's in the water? ;-P
Ooooo fat. The WOMEN may be Miss Universe, but this guy doesn't make the cut.
Ooh, the Caballe comment is mean, Rod.
One of the most entertaining afternoons I ever spent was in the company of a friend, with whom I've sadly long since lost touch, who is an opera singer. He's flamboyantly gay, and told hilarious stories of backstage opera gossip. He said the nickname for Caballe among the catty opera cognoscenti is "Monsterfat Cowbelly" (Google it, it's true). He ran down the entire list of bitchy names for opera stars, but as I'm not an opera listener, I can't remember any of them. But that one brought to mind such a vivid word picture that I couldn't forget it. He also told a story about getting pulled into what turned into volunteer work as a phone-sex conversationalist, which ended with the snap of a mousetrap. But that story is inappropriate for this blog.
You do encompass multitudes, there, Rod :-)
I had heard it as being "MoundsofFat"
... but her Liu from Turandot (the Sutherland/Pavrotti recording) places her celestially far above any snarky comments that mere mortals like we can sling at her. I will always have a soft spot for her simply because of that beautiful "Liu".
