Hugo Chavez, dictator extraodinaire of Venezuela, is at it again...bashing America and President Bush. Here are some of his latest rants, courtesy of Fox News:


"Go to hell, gringos!" (this would be Americans)


" 'What does the empire want? Condoleezza said it. How are you? You've forgotten me, missy ... Condoleezza said it clearly, it's about creating a new geopolitical' map in the Middle East.."


"They took out Saddam Hussein and they hung him, for good or worse. It's not up to me to judge any government, but that gentleman [emphasis added] was the president of that country."


"Criticizing excessive consumption and self-indulgence, Chavez also announced plans in his broadcast to raise domestic gasoline prices and approve a new tax on luxury goods such as private yachts, second homes and extravagant automobiles."

"He did not give details on the gas price hike, which he said would not affect bus drivers who provide public transportation, or the luxury tax. He said revenue from the new measures would be put toward government social programs [emphasis added, again]."


Hmmm...I wonder if the Democrats have considered asking Chavez to run on their ticket...he's right up their alley.

Chavez is the latest poster child for How to Destroy a Country, In Three Easy Steps:

1. Elect a communist.
2. Make him dictator.
3. Let him have his way.

Great post.
