Chavez mocks Clinton as "blond Condoleezza"
CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuela's President Hugo mocked U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday as a "blond" version of her predecessor, and said a row with Spain over alleged links with rebel groups was over.
Visiting Latin America this week, Clinton said the Obama administration's policies towards the region were helping blunt the criticism of the United States by leftist leaders like Chavez.
"To me, she's like Condoleezza Rice ... a blond Condoleezza," said the Venezuelan, referring to former U.S. president George W. Bush's secretary of state, with whom he exchanged frequent harsh words at long-distance.
Citing comments by Clinton in Brazil, Chavez said she was proving to be equally aggressive. "She comes to Brazil to provoke us, to try and divide us from our brothers."
While taking a familiar pop at the United States, Chavez was more conciliatory towards Spain.

34. His expression was ugly but I don't see how the Clinton State Department
is different than the Rice State Department at this point. Last I heard, Clinton hilariously criticized Venezuela for allowing democracy to wane when Ven isn't the country that fakes its elections, spies on its citizens or tortures its prisoners in its illegal wars.
Chavez is correct. No matter who is in office, Latin America is mistreated by the United States.
Stupid Beth loves her Hugo.

344. She's clearly proved that her worldview is right-wing
You have to be a right-wing extremist to think it could ever be a good thing to bomb Iran.

415. Is there a reason you've asked THREE SEPARATE POSTERS that question?
Why is the thought so impermissible?
Hawkishness is right-wing. It's no longer possible for war to lead to anything positive or progressive, or even vaguely humanist.
I think some Iraqis who recently voted again might disagree.
It's huge bonfire that nameremoved and subthreaddeleted show up.

Willful ignorance is all that is.
I was reading an article the other day in NR. It concerned an Iranian guy who's been through hell and back. One of his stops in hell was in a Venezuelan prison. This prison was famous for torture and for inmates murdering each other. One day, Chavez decided to get in on the fun. His thugs beheaded one of the inmates (and not with a nice clean guillotine, either), and left the body parts there for his widow to find the next morning while visiting.
Beth: please, please, please go to Venezuela.

That's a special kind of stupid that cup size couldn't overcome.

I don't want poor stupid Beth to go to Venezuela. She would stop posting, and she's one of the few really funny lunatics still around fairly often. I'm hoping that when her current stash of meds runs out we'll start getting more of those hilarious stories from the little camper in the desert. At the moment she's pretty heavily medicated.
