#1 This is how the NYT legitimizes its constant Bush-bashing by subjugating its opinion to interviewees, social commentary, book reviews, etc. I have even seen off handed remarks about US policy in the NYT Magazine's section on recipes!!

#4 Venezuela has oil, and a neo-commie in charge. If Bush ever really noticed Chavez he'd be out in hours. Fact is he's irrelevant and will be tossed out by his own people soon enough so why bother.

Its actually kind of pathetic how Chavez keeps crying out for attention. Anything, even a statement of hatred towards him would be something. Something to justify his existance. What's the point of being a communist if you can't get the US pissed off at you for it.

#5 Mr. ChÃ¡vez, who has been fending off a recall referendum, admits he is baffled that so many people â particularly the Bush administration â seem to dislike him so intensely.

Oh, this couldn't have anything to do with Chavez calling Bush an asshole a few weeks ago, could it?

#6 Let us leave Senor Chavez to the mercy of the people he's screwed so intently in Venezuela. I'm sure they'll know just what to do with him. Between his playing games in neighboring Columbia with FARC and ponying up to Jean-Bertrand Ass-in-his-hands, and his luuuuvvvv of Fidel Castro, he has nowhere to go but down. Ignoring him seems to be driving him mad, so maybe that's the best way to continue.

#7 OP,

You left out Chavez's pederasty fetish with Iran's mullahs and providing safe haven for Mideast terrorist groups.

#8 To watch Venezuela goings on I tune into a blog named Venezuela News and Views by a resident named Daniel.

An analogy for the current situation is the 9th Circuit performing a coup on the Supreme Court during the Florida recount. Its kind of entertaining, but the fact that Venezuela is a mid top 10, world oil exporter is quite chilling.
