I know you all wanted a crushed velvet painting of Castro posting up on Mao in a game of pick-up basketball, but you'll have to make due with Chavez and Ahmadinejad in loving embrace in front of some clouds. No word on whether this was just a bizarre gift between two men smitten with their shared hatred of George W. Bush, or if this was just a prototype for a production line of Hugo & Mahmoud items to be followed by a Saturday morning cartoon show.
