Chávez denounces Bush as `devil'

The devil is the ultimate trickster, an evil yet wickedly wise creature possessing the intelligence and manipulative powers to fool the entire world into doing his bidding. Bush cannot speak correctly and almost asphyxiated himself with a pretzel.

President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela denounced President Bush yesterday as ``the devil himself" and ``a world dictator" in an impassioned speech to the UN General Assembly, prompting sharp criticism from US officials.

I guess that means that they can't be friends. You know, it just goes to show you how absolute the world's hatred is for my president and my country. People are winning elections on the platform of "Fuck America!". I'm well aware that my president is an idiot. I know we went to war in Iraq for the wrong reasons and yes, I am quite pissed that Osama bin Laden and his top tier men are still free five years after Sept. 11th 2001 but, the devil, nah. The devil would have got the job done.

``The devil, the devil himself, is right in the house. And the devil came here yesterday," said Chávez, who made the sign of the cross as he spoke from the same podium that Bush used a day earlier. ``Right here -- and it smells of sulfur still today."

What's he trying to win an Emmy?

Chávez regularly insults Bush in public.

Yeah, it's in style.

The scathing comments surprised and amused even seasoned diplomats, drawing scattered laughter and applause -- the US seats were empty at the time -- and inviting comparisons to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev's infamous pounding of the table with his shoe at the UN in 1960.

These are the people in charge everybody. Are we even paying attention anymore?
