Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice illiterate and suggested in a speech last week that she had sexual dreams about him, prompting outrage among Venezuelan women's groups, which denounced his "obscene and lewd" remarks. In his Jan. 23 speech, Mr. Chavez said Miss Rice "keeps demonstrating complete illiteracy." "It seems that she dreams about me. I can invite her on a date with me to see what happens to her with me. She said that she was sad and depressed because of Chavez. Oh, daddy! She should forget me. What bad luck this lady has. I don't want to make that sacrifice for my nation," he said, according to Venezuelan reports.

What a friggin NUT.
Everyone knows she dreams of Hobbes1
The US needs the long term stability that can only come from a freely elected democracy - not the short term "stability" of a whack job like Chavez.
Chavez is an ugly thug and a complete moron. Still, I bet seeing the likes of Senator Sheets Byrd condemn and insult Dr. Rice on the floor of the US Senate emboldened him to make remarks like this.
The biggest exporter of Oil to the US is Venezuela. A war, armed conflict or guerilla movement would stop these exports. This would cause the US economy huge damage.
Also Chavez has the support of the masses. The coup was very unpopular among the poor and would have been unsuccesful in the long term.
Noriega want's to know if ya want the upper or lower bunk ?
tick....tick....tick....tick....
Communist clap-trap. You sure you're on the right forum?
popular or not, a new CIA sponsored coup is coming!
Really classy guy. I wonder if he is a Democrat.
Just goes to show what cocaine can do to the brain.
If they had a unified opposition they could have a chance but they do not.
Venezeula, like other Latin American nations, has a huge poverty stricken population with a massive gap betwen richa dn poor. The political elite in the country have done little to gain their support.
I do not like Chavez but am willing to acknowledge that the poor like him because he actually tries to do thing sfor them. My main issue with him would be land expropriation rather than election fraud.
There are not many dictators that would allow a recall referendum.
Get a grip commie, this country never has and never will succumb to blackmail. Political, economic, monetary, whatever. I get a real kick out of all these geniuses who have predicted that some little zit on a fleas a$$ will "bring us to our knees". Go back to the karl marx message board.
Is this for real? Honestly? If so.... (sigh) if so.... well, I don't know what, but I feel sorry for his opposition in Venesuela.
If we can traipse to the other side of the globe to bring stability to that dump, there's no reason why we couldn't "stabilize" Venezuala.
The rest of the southern continent could use the eye opener.
They are not our friends.
Why do you want an armed conflict with them?
They are not blackmailing you!
They sell you oil, you buy it.
He's a certified socilaist, so yes, he's a Democrat.
Bttt! Well said!
Bttt! Well said!

How so?
I said invading Venezuela would be bad for the US.
He resorted to caling me a cOmmie as he had no decent arguement to use.
I think there are other ways of working on Venezuela.
Simply put it just is not the time to be messing around with one of the US's main oil suppliers.
Iran and the ME is a far bigger issue.
Chavez himself is clearly sexually attracted to Jimmy Carter and Fidel Castro.
