Chavez demands apology from Spain's king Fri Nov 16
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez demanded Friday that Spain's King Juan Carlos apologize for telling him to "shut up" during a summit in Chile last week. Chavez said Juan Carlos should "offer some type of apology." A diplomatic row erupted at the Ibero-American Summit last Saturday when the king told Chavez to "shut up" when the leftist Venezuelan leader called former Spanish prime minister Jose Maria Aznar a "fascist." "The least I'm entitled to as head of state is that the King of Spain -- who is not the king of Latin America-- offer some type of apology for attacking me," Chavez told state-run television VTV. Chavez claims he neither saw nor heard the king, as he (Chavez) was addressing Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero at the Ibero-American summit. "If I had heard him ... I would have stared him down like an Indian, because I am an Indian and a little bit black and white," he said. Zapatero on Thursday said the king was merely defending him when he intervened at the summit -- Chavez interrupted Zapatero's speech several times before the king told him "why don't you just shut up." The Spanish prime minister said the incident "took on great significance" because television cameras picked it up.... |
I actually agree with Chavez for once. I think the Spanish King should have really set aside diplomatic protocol, especially after Venezuelan President's continuously rude and insulting behavior by saying "STFU."
What do you think the Spanish King should have said to Chavez? |

Bush Belongs In An Asylum
Tue Nov 20, 3:51 PM
PARIS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday that U.S. President George W. Bush belonged in a mental asylum for referring to the possibility of World War Three if Tehran developed nuclear weapons.
The remark is the latest in a long line of insults the outspoken left-wing leader has leveled at Bush, whom he has also called "the devil," a genocidal assassin and a donkey.
On October 17, Bush warned that a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to World War Three as he tried to shore up international opposition to Tehran amid Russian skepticism over whether Iran was really seeking nuclear weapons, as the West believes and Tehran denies.
"Bush spoke of the possibility of this Third World War and the use of the atom bomb," Chavez told a news conference in Paris, where he met his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy.
"A Third World War? With an atom bomb? He said it, with an atom bomb. There would be no more world. The world would end. Humanity would no longer exist," he said, speaking through an interpreter who translated his comments into French.
"I think he has to be put in an asylum. He has to be put in an asylum," said Chavez, an ally of Tehran, adding that Iran was not building nuclear weapons, echoing Iran's own denials. |

Actually, that's not too far off the mark. Why does Bush even hint at world war? It's like he really craves it. |

What's the world coming to when a king can't tell someone to shut up?

He should have said, "Shut THE HELL up"
Then he should have gone on a world tour, visiting the leaders of each nation and laying the verbal smackdown upon them like they all richly deserve. |
