Oliver Stone Meets Bolivia's President Morales For Talk, Coca

LA PAZ, Bolivia — U.S. filmmaker Oliver Stone kicked a soccer ball and chewed coca leaves with Bolivia's leftist president Tuesday during an interview for a planned documentary.

Stone's meeting with President Evo Morales is likely fodder for the director's documentary on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a close ally of Morales.

Bolivian government photos showed Morales and Stone chewing coca and kicking a ball around the lawn of the presidential residence in La Paz.

Coca leaves are revered in Bolivia as a mild, traditional stimulant, but are better known abroad as the main ingredient in cocaine.

Chavez said last week that Stone asked him "100 questions" during an interview in Caracas this month.

Stone is an admirer of the leftist Chavez.

Coca's good for you. Add Chavez and Bush's IQ, double it, then add a hundred and Evo would still be up by double digits. And he never even finished high school. Make a film about that, Oliver Stone.
