Good ol' Hugo, the Latin Gentleman, is at it again:
| Quote: |
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday almost told German Chancellor Angela Merkel to go to hell, but stopped short of insulting the woman leader on Mother's Day.
Instead he called her a political descendant of Adolf Hitler and German fascism.
"Ms. Chancellor, you can go to ...," he said, pausing for effect and eliciting giggles from the audience, a group of military officers, cabinet ministers and government officials. "Because she's a woman I won't say anything else."
The leftist leader, who famously called U.S. President George W. Bush "the devil" at a United Nations assembly, slammed Merkel for calling on Latin American leaders to distance themselves from Chavez.
"She is from the German right, the same that supported Hitler, that supported fascism, that's the Chancellor of Germany today," he said.
Chavez said he could confront her about the statements if he attends an upcoming summit of heads of state from Europe and Latin America in Peru.
"Maybe I'll say something to her and she'll get mad and say 'why don't you shut up?'" he said, referencing Spanish King Juan Carlos' 2007 admonition of the loquacious Chavez that touched off a bilateral dispute with Spain.
Chavez on Sunday called Colombian President Alvaro Uribe a "liar" who "shouldn't even run a corner store."
In the past, he has called U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld "one of the dogs of the devil" and then-President of Mexico Vicente Fox the "lap-dog of the empire."

Since Chavez seems hell-bent on bad mouthing every Western leader in sight, it's only fitting we find a fitting epithet for him.
I suggest "Man of LaMacho"
What's your suggestion? |

While I realize Hillary has stated she isn't "going to put [her] lot in with economists" I still think her economic policy would be a little more sane than the illogical policy Chavez has down in Venezuela. And I believe the other two candidates proposed policies are more tied to reality than Chavez's as well. |
