Venezuelan Prez Chavez and the “D” Words

When a man is right, he’s right. You can’t just discount the pearls of wisdom that issue forth from a man because he’s a hothead and a despot. I mean, if the Republican Party decided that the current resident of the White House couldn’t be taken seriously because he’s an idiot, where would the Republican Party be? Bad analogy. The Republican Party would not be in its current world of troubles if George W. Bush weren’t at the helm. But my point is, even psychopaths can have brilliant insights. Like Hitler when he said, “How fortunate for leaders that men do not think.” The first time Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez showed his keen perception into our President was last March 19th during Chavez’s weekly Sunday television broadcast. In English, he said, "You are a donkey, Mr. Bush…you're an alcoholic, Mr. Danger, or rather, you're a drunkard." Say what you will about Chavez, but he couldn’t even be sued for slander with those shrewd assessments. They’re true. George W. Bush is a silly ass and he’s got a drinking problem. But Chavez hit the heights this past Wednesday at the UN, when he responded to Bush’s Tuesday dispute with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Referring to Bush, Chavez made the sign of the cross and said, "The devil came here yesterday...he came here talking as if he were the owner of the world." What could be truer than that? Wise words. Accurate words. Precise and correct words. But US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton said, “I'm just not going to comment on this because his (Chavez) remarks just don't warrant a response…serious people can listen to what he had to say and if they do they will reject it.” Poppycock! I’m serious and I don’t reject it. I embrace it. George W. Bush is the devil. As a matter of fact, I have to echo all of Hugo Chavez’s perspicacious, astute, D-word discernments about the 43rd president of the United States. George W. Bush is a donkey, a drunkard and the devil. On other subjects and policies, I would have to disagree with Chavez. But on George W. Bush, he’s distilled the essence of the man into three words. Well done!
