Sean Penn's good bud isn't so popular with students...
Thousands of students have clashed with police and government supporters in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, in protest at constitutional changes. Police fired tear gas at students angry at plans to let President Hugo Chavez stand for indefinite re-election as bottles and stones were thrown. Mr Chavez would also be allowed to bypass legal controls on the executive during a state of emergency. (Snip) Students had chanted ''Reform, no - democracy, yes''
Gee…wonder who has the power to declare a “state of emergency”?????
