Like a little girl who just did a big baddy, extreme leftist nutbar and President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, is cancelling all his appointments for today and tomorrow and is running away to his oversized people’s doll house. Even Iran’s li’l President Ahmadinejad, after his nutbar speech, had the matzah balls to stick around.
Yesterday, Chavez called President Bush a “devil” (and performed his sacred In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti in full sign of the cross gesture.
No liberals complained of a “separation of church and state” in this one particular case. He ain’t Bush!
As he babbled on, he waved his good book in the air. No not the Bible, silly. A Noam Chomsky book. No seriously. He really did. This stuff writes itself!
I think that the first people who should read this book are our brothers and sisters in the United States, because their threat is in their own house. The devil is right at home. The devil—the devil, himself, is right in the house.
And the devil came here yesterday.
(APPLAUSE)
Yesterday, the devil came here. Right here. Right here. And it smells of sulfur still today, this table that I am now standing in front of.
Still smells of sulfur? Chavez confused Bush’s “devil” smell with the smell the chairman of the CBC left after he was seen pooing in U.N. bathroom 666-d.
He also said America was a “threat to the survival of the human race”. That would coincide with that whole “devil” gig I presume.
He spoke about capitalism and how horrible it has proven to be in his weird view. Communism is much better, see. Let’s spread it, he says. “All this has generated is a high degree of misery, inequality and infinite tragedy for all the peoples on his continent,” he says. Perhaps he should visit our house. Even our dog lives the high life.
SFGate.com reports that China’s very communist Foreign Minister was asked if Chavez had gone too far and Li Zhao Xing said: “He really said that? Are you sure? He would go that far?”
Yes he would! (And apparently even China’s Foreign Minister didn’t see the need to watch Chavez’s lecture, despite Chavez being known to be, in his words, “very Maoist”.)
A United Nations specialist at Columbia University said it “confirms the worst stereotypes about the U.N. General Assembly being a circus sideshow filled with venom and rabid anti-Americanism,” said Edward Luck. “I never thought anyone could make Ahmadenijad look like a moderate, but Chavez has done it.”
Yes he did.
And yet liberal papers and columnists and web sites including those in Canada as well as those in Cuba are applauding it and retelling the words with glee.
Meanwhile their hero was packing his nightie and running away like a little girl.
Perhaps Chavez was worried about a coup in Caracas while he was here, Thai-style. Or perhaps he was just embarrassed because he was quite rightly being portrayed as totally coup-coup by the serious world media.
