Castro-Loving Commie Bastard™ "Ashamed" of "Morally Unacceptable" Catholic Bishops

(Hat tip: Custos Fidei)

When Chávez isn't honoring dead commies like Che Guevara, he's usually busy attacking the Catholic Church:
Caracas - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez slammed the nation's Roman Catholic Church leadership as "morally unacceptable" late on Sunday for criticizing his proposal to rewrite the constitution to scrap term limits.

Chavez's reform plan, which voters are expected to approve in a December referendum, also includes allowing security forces to detain citizens without charge during political "emergencies" or major natural disasters.

Church leaders on Friday issued a strongly-worded statement accusing Chavez of seeking to concentrate power with an "authoritarian" proposal to overhaul the OPEC nation's constitution that he helped rewrite in 1999.

Bishops 'make us ashamed'

"They say the reform is morally unacceptable - they are morally unacceptable," Chavez said in a government press release sent out on Sunday night. "Those bishops that we have make us ashamed."

***
The Church is one of the few respected, independent institutions in Venezuela and has repeatedly criticized his leftist policies and called on him to tone down his often aggressive rhetoric since he took power in 1999.

***
Venezuelans are overwhelmingly Roman Catholic, but generally practice their faith less than their counterparts in other Latin American countries such as Mexico or Brazil.

I've got to ask... Is "Castro-Loving Commie Bastard" your TM?

It's just a joke. I don't really have a trademark on it, but I use it to describe Chavez every time I blog about him.

Actually, I believe credit for the idea goes to Publius at Res Publica et Cetera.

It cracks me up every time! My husband, too! I knew it was a joke, but you couldn't tell that from my comment. Tongue-in-cheek doesn't transmit well.
