Chavez Crosses Line with Devil Statement

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez took his verbal battle with the United States to the floor of the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, calling U.S. President George W. Bush 'the devil.' (Sept. 20)

How dare he call the President of the United States 'The Devil'? Everybody knows that Dick Cheney is the devil incarnate, dark lord of basalt and eater of souls. No two-bit, sponge-brained, ignominious hayseed from Texas/Maine can stake that claim, no matter how oval his office might be, nor how many outspoken communist leaders in the Western Hemisphere he enrages with attempts to assassinate them.
