Reporter: "Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has made some extremely strong anti-American statements. Is there a concern that he could turn into the Saddam Hussein of Latin America and be a haven for al Qaeda in the months or years to come?"

MR. McCLELLAN: "One of the things that was discussed last week with our partners from Mexico and Canada was the importance of supporting democratic institutions in our own hemisphere. And that's the broader issue here, that all of us in the Americas should work together to support the advance of democratic institutions throughout the region and not take steps back from moving forward on democracy.

We've expressed our concerns when it comes to the situation in Venezuela. Those concerns remain. Those are discussions we discuss with others, as well. And it's important to work through the Organization of American States to address some of those issues, as well."

Anybody know the name of this "Bulldog" Gannon sound-alike?

On Edit - change Reported to Reporter - this happened at AScotty press briefing on 3/29

4. You're right ...
I forgot the press tends to play up the "anti-Bush = anti-American" angle on these stories.

5. Give us a NAME
What Chavez said or didn't say IS NOT THE POINT.

The point is that another right wing gasbag is posing as a reporter, using up press conference time by spouting right wing garbage instead of asking questions and alloing REAL reporters to ask REAL questions.

Give the board a NAME and we'll all start digging up dirt.

2. "Canada has been speaking French and generally dissing the US.
Doesn't the president think that now is a better time to invade than waiting for the return of bad weather?"

:evilgrin:
