Diablo.That's the Spanish word for what Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez calls U.S. President George W. Bush when he's extended the courtesy of being in america.
"The devil came to the UN yesterday...it still smells of sulphur here," Chavez told the 61st session of the United Nations.
The stench of sulphur is common at the occult-loving UN, but it's been overwhelmed of late by the more pervasive stink of corruption lingering over the Oil-for-Food scandal.
With about as much couth as your average pirate, Chavez likes to boogeyman Bush as Beelzebub. Rude and crude as always, Chavez lectured Bush in his UN diatribe..."Bush, I have this feeling you are going to live the rest of your days as a nightmare. We need a psychologist to analyze Bush."
Spotted grinning in the audience was the European Union's Javier Solana, another Catholic who surely knows all about el Diablo.
But it was his statement "Maybe we need to move the UN out of the USa," that probably gave most folks their biggest belly laugh.
You'd be doing the western world a big favour, Hugo baby if only you would match macho action to rhetoric and take Turtle Bay off our hands.
The seriously self-centered Chavez would discover soon enough that the world's biggest bureaucracy is as high maintenance as the mistress of any compromised despot. aside from providing a voice to the loose cannons of the global village, the UN--which has a proven track record for doing very little about anything that needs doing, --is stretching its toxic roots into a manana-style, multi-million dollar extension.
after all, the ivory towers, having grown like Topsy from the abattoir slaughterhouse gifted to the UN by the Rockefellers, already wants to move house.
If the modern day film industry weren't so busy showering awards on a film whose main storyline is the assassination of George W. Bush, United Nations, The movie would be a blockbuster at the box office from the drama it provides alone.
Where else do world despots get to come on like a gaggle of petulant schoolboys, one trying to outdo the other?
armed with a Spanish version of anti-american Noam Chomsky's book, Hegemony or Survival: america's Quest for Global Dominance, Chavez was applauded for his boorish behaviour by hangers-on in the peanut gallery.
after his UN statesman stint, the fast-talking Chavez slipped quietly into Harlem, where he again called Bush "the devil".
Ironically, Citgo, a Houston-based energy company that is owned and controlled by the Venezuelan government, organized the Harlem event. Under a Citgo program, and in partnership with Citizens Energy, a program initiated and controlled by former Congressman Joe Kennedy II, families from low-income neighbourhoods in New York, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia have the ability to purchase discounted home heating oil over the winter months.
The poor of New York, Boston Chicago and Philadelphia are the business of Hugo Chavez. The poor of Venezuela are not.
Playing to a captive audience, Chavez talked about not being able to visit the US as much as he likes because he feels "threatened".
Strange how quickly bullies get to feel "threatened".
although Chavez's devil diatribe found gleeful success with his american-bashing buddies, not everybody missed his sheer opportunism in using the UN assembly for his insult-laden speech.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi wrote the Venezuelan President off as "a thug".
When it comes to his crusades, Senor Chavez shows an utter lack of respect for american people and american soil.
One doesn't need to draw horns and a tail to find Satan Chavez.
Meanwhile, one can only imagine the squeals of "injustice" if Bush, or any Republican politician, did the same thing to Chavez on his home turf.
