Idiot Speaks. Idiots React

I won't waste too many bytes writing how much of an idiot Hugo Chavez is. That's common knowledge.

I probably shouldn't spend much time writing about the positive reaction to Hugo the Clown's speech. But I decided to pull out a few of the "highlights".

From the WaPo:

"Obviously people are pleased with what he said, but they cannot express themselves as frankly as he does, said one Arab ambassador, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he did not want to offend the United States.

Please, Mr/Mrs Ambassador, go right ahead. It's not like you're the only one.

From the Miami Herald, actor/activist/commie Danny Glover said:

"Hugo Chavez is a very visionary man".

Visionary indeed. He sees fidel everywhere he goes.

More from the Herald:

CITGO CEO Félix Rodríguez told the Harlem gathering that the company was not acting out of political motivation (in offering discounted oil to poor Americans). It was a sincere gesture of
help and ''a small grain of sand'' that he hoped would motivate other oil companies to do the same.

Rumor has it Mr. Rodriguez had a gun to his head when he made this remark.

Eliseo Colón, a cook, said Chávez was trying to help the poor in a way ``Bush isn't trying to do.''

No, Bush isn't trying to take over major oil corporations or import doctors from a foreign country.

Arvetta Taylor, who came with a large group from the Harlem Addicts Rehabilitation Center, said she wished the United States had a president like Chávez. ''I love sharing,'' she said of the heating oil programs.

Fine Ms. Taylor, I'm sure Chavez will set you up nicely in a Caracas shantytown upon your arrival to Venezuela. Besides, we know how much he loves addicts.
