Chavez says Bush "devil" speech spur of the moment
Thu Nov 30, 2006 8:32pm ET

CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuela's president calling his U.S. counterpart
Satan in a U.N. speech seemed a devilish gambit in the nations' war of words --
but Hugo Chavez says he was shooting from the hip.

Chavez earned headlines worldwide and sparked U.S. outrage in September with a
sulfurous harangue at the U.N. General Assembly that branded George W. Bush
Lucifer -- and contributed to Venezuela's loss in a bid for a Security Council seat.

"The devil thing, I didn't have it on my mind. I swear, it occurred to me right
there," Chavez said at a news conference on Thursday.

Recalling how he came to mock the U.S. president in front of the world's dignitaries,
Chavez said he read the American's comments to the assembly a day earlier and
decided to cast aside his own prepared speech and go Bush-bashing.

1. Oh come on...why are people making such a big deal out of this, really?????

We all KNOW Bush isn't the DEVIL. The DEVIL has to run HELL, and running HELL, a major corporation that has been in business, quite sucessfully, for many thousands of years, is HARD WORK.

This asshole managed to run a goddamn oil bidniz into the ground in oil-rich TEXAS. He played around with baseball for a bit, and then cut 'n run. He's never had a steady job in his LIFE until he did this PretzleDunce thing, and he's screwed that up totally.

Bush, the DEVIL??? Hell would freeze over, that's how bad he'd FUCK it UP!!!!! They'd be selling Satanic Margaritas, Demon Milkshakes, and Beelzebub Gelatos to try to make ends meet!!!!!

:rofl:
