Venezuela's Chavez to Bush: Please kill me now
I've seen some pretty crazy stuff from leaders of small oil rich countries before, with similar results.

The only thing Chavez has neglected to do is paint a Bulls-eye on his private jet.

of course, there are so many "lone nuts" and "splinter groups" in venezuela at the moment.......

Chavez Denounces Bush as Foes Fight Troops --Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called Dictator Bush an "---hole" on Sunday and told him not to meddle as his opponents battled troops ahead of a ruling on a recall vote against him. Chavez, who often says the U.S. is backing opposition efforts to topple his government, accused Bush of listening to "imperialist" aides whom he said advised the U.S. leader to support a brief 2002 coup against him. "He was an ---hole to believe them," Chavez roared at a rally of supporters in Caracas.

Venezuela would stop oil to U.S. if invaded -Chavez --Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned the U.S. government Sunday that if it tried to invade Venezuela or impose a trade blockade against his country, he would shut off Venezuelan oil supplies to the United States. In his speech, Chavez also called Bush an "asshole" for, he said, supporting a short-lived coup in 2002 that briefly toppled him.

Venezuelan Loyalists Take to the Streets --Chanting "Chavez! Chavez!" more than 100,000 Venezuelans marched Sunday to support President Hugo Chavez as opponents demanding his recall staged demonstrations in several cities.

1. Better to die a free man than live like a poodle.
But it hasn't come to that. Chavez is still very much alive. Much more so, I dare say, than Tony Blair.

2. Yeah, but it;'s only been 20 hours
Since he asked for it.
Don't forget Spinmeister extraordinaire James Carville onlyhas ONE client at the moment--an anti-Chavez consortium in Venezuela.

Once coup fatigue has set in with the American public, they will move on him, mark my words.
