CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday lobbed a litany of insults at U.S. President George W. Bush ranging from "donkey" to "drunkard" in response to a White House report branding the left-wing leader a demagogue.
Chavez is one of Bush's fiercest critics and has repeatedly accused the U.S. government of seeking to oust him from the presidency of Venezuela, the world's No. 5 oil exporter and a supplier of around 15 percent of U.S. crude imports.
"You are a donkey, Mr. Bush," said Chavez, speaking in English on his weekly Sunday broadcast.
"You're an alcoholic Mr. Danger, or rather, you're a drunkard," Chavez said, referring to Bush by a nickname he frequently uses to describe the U.S. president.
A White House report released last week on pre-emptive force in national security described Chavez as a "demagogue" who uses Venezuela's oil wealth to destabilize democracy in the region.
Washington is increasingly at odds with the former soldier over his close alliance with Cuba and Iran. U.S. officials dismiss his anti-U.S. tirades as rhetoric meant to stir nationalism before presidential elections in December.
Chavez's remarks also came after Venezuela's El Universal newspaper printed an interview with U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela William Brownfield, who reiterated his government's concern over growing ties between Venezuela and Iran.
Tensions between the Washington and Caracas rose in January after Venezuela expelled a U.S. naval attache on espionage charges and the U.S. State Department responded by removing a top Venezuelan diplomat from Washington.
Chavez was elected in 1998 on an anti-poverty platform, and has used billions of dollars in oil revenues to finance development programs for the poor as part of his self-styled socialist revolution.
He won a overwhelming victory in a recall referendum in 2004, but his critics at home and in Washington say he is centralising power in an increasingly authoritarian system and cracking down on political opponents.
It's just a matter of time before he does a Noriega. Hopefully, our criticisms of him are designed to push him over the edge.
Typical lefty. No class and no brains.
He's confusing President Bush with Teddy the Swimmer.
The only NADs the Dhimmocrats have are the little pink ones that Code Pinko has been handing out.
Probably Jesus.
Ya know, some people just need "dusting" for no specific reason other than they are really obnoxious. When this Commie pig finally croaks, the world is going to be one hell of a lot better place than it is with him in it.
"First off, I defy Swiss Info, the UN or anybody else to verify exactly how much funding is going to the poor in Hugie's socialist reform. I'd wager not very darned much."
Chavez's socialist reforms are as ineffective and insincere as the pseudo-altruistic actions of the U.N.
After all these decades and millions in funds donated to Belafonte's "foundation", Harry Belafonte has not kept up with feeding all of the world's starving children nor has Belafonte found a solution for the urgent problem of children starving throughout the world.
Silly Hugo... Danger is George's middle name!
Also - is there *really* a difference between "alcoholic" and "drunkard"? Not that either applies, of course, but you've gotta love the nonsensical ravings of Chavez' lunatic mind!
Chavez deliberately and daily cements his affinity to the left (hard and the useful idiots) and the media in the U. S. and elsewhere.
They will see - are seeing - that he is one of them; and they will, correspondingly, work to defend him. When he uses English, he speaks directly to them.
All this removes focus and attention from the repression he has brought about in Venezuela.

Yeah, 'Alcoholics' have to go to meetings :-)
A peppering of colorful metaphors right back at you my dear.
It only "donkey" after translation what he actualy said was that Bush is an ASS
Chavez needs to eat a bullet.
Typical commie tactic; create some external enemy to bolster support for his regime and hide your shortcomings, a tactic long perfected by the rulers of Islamic states.
Hey, everybody! Look at me!
