The title really says it all. In the middle of the Bush bashing by the democrats, along comes some tin plated dictator and calls Bush "el Diablo". Even referencing the fact he could smell the sulfur at the podium of the UN (My Motto: he who smelt it dealt it).
Ok, the UN is neutral territory and I have already commented that the sad parts of his speech is that a National leader (dictator in his case) would stoop to infantile behavoir, and the sadder part is that he would get applause from the rest of the juvenile deliquents. His UN speech only showed that when it comes to Diplomacy, Bush has them beat in spades.
But then he goes onto American soil and repeats his infantile tirade. Like a spoiled child that does not get their way with the first tantrum, he carries it outside the house to gain more attention. This time, on American soil, in an abode that can only laughably be called a house of worship (instead of a Tammany hall).
And he did something that no one, since Bin Laden on 9-11-01, could do. He made the most vocal critics of the Bush rally to his defense! Yes, Pelosi and Rangel (the one who will impeach him if the democrats gain the majority in the house). They basically told Chavez to stick it!
"Dont come onto our soil and dis our president! Only those Americans who voted for or against him have that right!" (Charlie can be a curmudgeon when he wants to be).
But Charlie Rangel is right. The outrage from the majority of Americans against this Chavez "el stupido" is palpable. And I think some people learned a valuable lesson.
The way to gain popularity is not to bomb an aspirin factory in Sudan. You want to deflect the heat from a scandal (clinton) or Bad ratings (Bush)?
Get a tin pot dictator to come into your country and call you out! Because if that had happened in the midst of the Clinton Scandal, it would have died a quick death.
Looking back, I am sure that Bill wishes he had a Chavez to help him! As it is, the democrats can only say "damnit!" as they rush to defend the man they have trashed for the last 4 years. Knowing that while the loony loopey luddite left are sucking up to Chavez (note Glover), the other (majority) of the country just got POed at the buffoon.
And in the halls of congress, we hear. DAMNIT Roared over and over again.
