Hugo Chavez is a Joke
So far Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez have brought their anti-US bias before the United Nations. Everyone knows these men hate the US, both keep their power by trampling on the rights of their own citizens and both keep their jobs by portraying this country as their enemy.
“The devil came here yesterday,” Chavez said, referring to Bush, who addressed the world body during its annual meeting Tuesday. “And it smells of sulfur still today.”
Chavez accused Bush of having spoken “as if he owned the world” and said a psychiatrist could be called to analyze the statement.
“As the spokesman of imperialism, he came to share his nostrums to try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world. An Alfred Hitchcock movie could use it as a scenario. I would even propose a title: ‘The Devil’s Recipe.’ “
It is interesting that Chavez would call President Bush a dictator considering he had his cronies re-write the country’s constitution, giving him almost dictatorial powers. At the UN the Venezuelan President then calls the UN Security Council an undemocratic institution because of the veto powers of the permanent five: the United States, Great Britain, France, Russia, and China.
Chavez called the veto power shared by the five permanent members of the Security Council “anti-democratic,” and cited the U.S. veto of a resolution that would have demanded the Israelis halt their bombing of Lebanon this summer.
That is like the pot calling the kettle, black. I would not be surprised if Chavez never leaves office after his term is over. So much for the rise of democracy in Latin America.
Everyone knows Hugo Chavez hates America and President Bush in particular. What is disturbing is the reaction of the rest of the UN body which gave the Venezuelan President a sustained applause. The UN has shown its face to the world and none of us should be shocked by what we have seen. A good portion of the UN is made up of anti-democratic and human rights violators who occupy leadership positions. This antiquated world body has served its purpose and should be relegated to the annals of history like the failed League of Nations.
Polimom has an interesting and hilarious take on the Chavez rant.
Personally, I think an entire staff of psychiatrists could be kept occupied by remarks from the latest U.N. General Assembly… but Chavez has been hopping up and down like a hyperactive chicken for so long, it’s hardly worth the excitement he generates.
I should have talked about Hugo Chavez’s speech yesterday, but I wanted to see what the left had to say about his ‘The Devil’ speech. After all, Hugo Chavez was holding a book written by one of the left’s heroes, Noam Chomsky. All they can talk about is how the President is the devil and how much they agree with this moron. How the President stole the election in 2000 and how they do smell sulfur. I would not be surprised to see Howard Dean along side Hugo Chavez in a television commercial denigrating President Bush and the Republican Party in general. Everything the Venezuelan President said was out of the Democratic playbook. In fact with the exception of President Bush being the devil, these same rantings could be heard from Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, or any of the other left wing liberals.
Hugo Chavez is a joke. Like a spoiled brat, he craves attention. Now that I think of it, he acts much like Cindy Sheehan.
I have one message for Hugo Chavez, “Go home!”
