| #8 Great 'shop job on that photo, Fred. Something is rotten in Denmark with that punk and his country. I'm beginning to wonder if all of our boycotts of CITGO are working. I've seen more TV ads, heard more radio ads and read more newspaper ads for CITGO in the last month or two than I've ever heard of CITGO in my entire life. All spun that "It's an American company, serving your neighborhood, and we'll continue to be in your 'hood." That boycott must be working, or else CITGO wouldn't spend MILLIONS of dollars doing these ads, when I'd never seen/heard/read an ad on them in my life before Chavez's UN speech. When even Schumer says "You don't come to my country and spout off at my President," something's amiss. |
A top State Department official said Wednesday that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's UN speech deriding President George W. Bush is causing other Latin American leaders to distance themselves from Chavez. Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns said the mercurial president's anti-Bush speech was a major reason the United Nations denied Venezuela a seat on the Security Council At the traditional opening of the General Assembly session in September, Chavez was hypercritical of Bush, even characterizing him as an imperialist "devil."
