Hugo Calls bush a Drunkard and a Coward

[NJCher]

Oddly enough, he calls him a "donkey," too.

I normally eschew name-calling but hey--ya' gotta' love Hugo.

:loveya:

Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, a strident Bush critic, said world opinion is turning against the war as he offered some of his harshest criticisms of the U.S. president in months.

"The world is opposed to your war, Mr. Danger," Chavez said Sunday on his weekly television and radio program. He also called Bush a "coward," a "donkey" and a "drunkard."

This quote is found a page or two into a relatively long article that summarizes the anti-war protests around the world.

1. Tell it, President Chavez!

Speak the truth! Every other world leader should have a tenth of your truthfulness and courage!

2. Mr. Danger

Chavez needs to come up with a different nickname for scrub. Mr. Danger sounds like a chillingly competant super-villain that you'd find in a Daredevil or Batman comic.

5. It is probably lost in translation. I don't care what Hugo calls him --

as long as it is to further belittle the spoiled little boy that W is.

3. Chavez is right on!

Protesters marking the third anniversary of the Iraq war made their voices heard across the world over the weekend, with the largest marches in London, Portland and Chicago, though in numbers that were often lower than in previous years.

About 10,000 anti-war protesters in Portland took nearly an hour to pass through downtown streets Sunday, some carrying signs that said "Impeach the Evildoer." No arrests were made.

In Reno, Nev., some 400 anti-war protesters were greeted by counter-demonstrators numbering 20 to 25. It was a reversal from three years ago when about 200 pro-military demonstrators crashed an anti-war protest, drowning out about 150 peace activists' hymns and speeches with chants.

4. Bush's mentality is low enough to respond to name calling

Communications with him are best conducted at the level of "My Pet Goat"

6. Bush should just sue Chavez

For definition of character.

7. I wish we had a president that could be deffended from this kind of thing

But Chaves is just calling a spade a spade.
