Cindy Sheehan , "disingenous and silly to come to Venezuela to speak against "militarism" at the World Social Forum, in a country run by an autocratic former military officer, coup plotter, who has over half his Government run by former or military officers and is spending billions in weapons, while claiming to be fighting poverty. I mean, who does she think she is kissing? "
This populist leader, who never missed an opportunity to address the nation, once described oil executives as living in "luxury chalets where they perform orgies, drinking whisky".
Church leaders in this overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country fared no better. "They do not walk in... the path of Christ," said Mr Chavez at one stage.
Relations with Washington reached a new low when he accused it of "fighting terror with terror" during the war in Afghanistan after 11 September.
LOL!
That last speaker didn't mention my name. Post # 30
Hypocrites...
Amazon gas pipeline plan jolts environmentalists
S. American leaders say project will reduce dependence on U.S.
Wednesday, January 25, 2006; Posted: 2:08 p.m. EST (19:08 GMT)
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) -- Environmentalists were caught off guard when South American leaders announced plans to build a massive natural gas pipeline through the Amazon rain forest.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says the pipeline is a central part of his efforts to reduce dependence on the United States and its pressure for free market policies known as the Washington Consensus.
It's "the beginning of the South American consensus," Chavez has said. "This pipeline is vital for us."
snip
Chavez has said he wants the continent's state-owned oil companies to build and oversee the pipeline, and leaders have agreed to meet in Argentina in March to review plans being prepared by their oil companies.
He said Venezuela and Bolivia "have gas for 200 years" and can supply fuel to Brazil and Argentina, where there is increasing demand for power generation, cooking gas and cars.

Yes. This is Cindy's latest threat....
Now that is an interesting picture. Ordinarily, I would not think of a head of state closing his eyes while doing the perfunctory and obligatory political kiss of greeting, but this pix suggests something more on Chavez's part. I'm not sure what, but I'd like to see other pix of their interaction.
Fellow Travelers.
Let us remember that her son is an American hero.
His mother, however, is a useful idiot.

Cindy ani't nuthin' but a Propaganda B!!ch.
I'm beginning to detest the sight of that woman!
You aren't the only one.
Maybe they'll breed and Helen Thomas will cease being the most fugly.
"President Chavez, I bring you warm greetings from Harry Belafonte's friend, Hillary Clinton."
Excellent find. Thanks.
