A star has been born. His name is Hugo Chavez. And he called Bush the devil. How do you like them apples?
I was speechless....and for those of you who know me well know that such a response speaks volumes. Chavez's face is on the main page of practically every major news source website for calling him the devil, EL DIABLO!!! Joder. But when Rumsfeld compared him to the likes of HITLER. HITLER!!!!!...the man responsible for the strategic and well-organized execution of over 12 million people and many others in battle....It barely got a peep in the media.
But Chavez made a splash at that podium today, didn't he?
What can I say? Is there anything to say.
Oh yes....I wanted to comment on the article in the Times regarding the reading practices of Castro and Chavez. I am sure the Bush Administration will use this article as proof of the liberal media conspiracy. What makes me sad is that Castro and Chavez have probably read more books than George W and his DWI-star twins combined. The only person in that family that could maybe rival the "literate" duo is Mrs. Bush. Now was Ms. Laura even invited? I think she would look smashing in a crisp red beret. Don't you?
Chavez could be to Latin American readership what the Oprah Bookclub is to the US. Maybe she should make a visit? You think she'd suffer a dip in ratings?
While I was reading the article I had to put my special Inspector Gadget goggles on to read between the lines. And as my professor taught me....ask yourself...what does this have to do with me. Well, the article mentions that a book by Libya's Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. Do readers really care that Chavez reads? No. But they may be concerned about what he's reading.
Anyway, I am off to walk the streets with a little extra bounce in my step. Why? Because as much as I believe that calling Bush a devil was completely gratuitous I also get a kick out of it. A little chuckle. It's funny no?
