You Go Hugo!

Chavez promoting Noam Chomsky's new anti-American book. Is Madam President stiffling a laugh?

Whew. We can all rest easier now. It was close, but Hugo Chavez, the cherubic Communist dictator president of Venezuela, has offered to Save The World from American Imperialism.

In his speech to the UN General Assembly today, among other radical proposals, he appealed to the Non-Aligned Movement nations including Iran and Cuba to completely restructure the United Nations, add certain third world countries to permanent Security Council membership, repeal the veto power of Security Council members, and - my favorite - move the UN headquarters to Venezuela. So there you have it. The third world must lead the world into a new age of Venezuelan world domination.

Not content with merely presenting his plan to become world dictator, he made an ad hominem attack on President Bush, calling him the devil, saying, "And the devil came here yesterday. Yesterday the devil came here. Right here." [crosses himself] "And it smells of sulfur still today."

One may not yet have Senor Chavez on one's radar as being a radical fruitcake, but considering that Venezuela is in our backyard - just 1,340 miles from Key West Florida, and well within missle range - and is one of the largest oil producing countries in the world, Americans may want to keep an eye on this one.

It's required reading to read the entire translation of his speech here posted on Drudge Report.
