Castro-Loving Commie Bastard Pounds Shoe on Podium at U.N.

No, not that one. I'm talking about this one:

Chavez's Histrionics Shock Even America's Critics

UNITED NATIONS — Playing to the anti-American crowd at the U.N. General Assembly yesterday, President Chávez of Venezuela put on a nightclub act, rolling his eyes, crossing himself, looking up to the heavens, and calling President Bush "el diablo."

His histrionics were by no means the only bizarre behavior in a room where any insult hurled at Mr. Bush had a good chance of winning easy applause. But even diplomats from countries that rarely see eye to eye with America were taken aback by Mr. Chávez's remark.

"Did he really say that? Did he go that far?" Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing of China, who attended bilateral meetings all day and was not present for Mr. Chávez's speech, asked. Mr. Li said he wondered whether the Venezuelan leader's comments were mistranslated from the Spanish.

"It's hard to see it as helpful," the British foreign secretary, Margaret Beckett, told The New York Sun.

"The devil is right at home, the devil, the devil himself is right in the house," Mr. Chávez said to giggles, then applause in the hall of the General Assembly. "And the devil came here yesterday," he added, crossing himself and looking theatrically upward.

"Yesterday, the devil came here, right here, right here. And it smells of sulfur still today, this table that I am now standing in front of," he said. "Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the president of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world, truly, as the owner of the world."

Meanwhile, the Dems who love him so, and who were supposed to make appearances with him today, suddenly found conflicts on their schedule precluding them from showing up in Republican campaign materials pictured with this buffoon.
