CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Supporters of President Hugo Chavez shaved their heads in solidarity with their leader's struggle against cancer on Sunday as hundreds prayed and sang at a televised event.

Barbers shaved off the hair of several men and at least one woman while the crowd swayed to a religious song. Chavez, who shaved his head after starting to lose his hair due to chemotherapy, smiled and waved to the crowd.

"We're Christians. Christ unites us," Chavez said in a speech, noting that others had decided to join him and "change their look."

Chavez said he may undergo a third round of chemotherapy but expressed optimism that the worst of his illness has passed.

Didn't realize Chavez was religous though.

2. We're Christians. Christ unites us

Sounds like a tea-bagger. Another way Chavez is like W.
