“we will reference the tyrant Chavez TV station closure”
The marx-o-crat party favors this sort of thing.
Shut down all the grocery stores in Venezuela and most people will hardly blink an eye.
Shut down their long-running soap operas and they'll take to the streets and storm the barricades.
That's just how the world turns, Hugo.

Hey, they voted for him! Now they’re mad at him?
And no POTUS since or before RR knew what to do with one.
W hanging Saddam was pretty good but no one semed to notice.
I also don’t think that Chavez will be gone before Bush is. Remember, many people thought the same thing about Castro soon after he took over Cuba, and he’s still its leader today (debatable) even after almost dying last year. I also wonder how long Mugabe will be the leader of Zimbabwe? Who will be gone first among Bush, Castro, Chavez, Mugabe, and North Korea’s Kim, and in what order would they all go?
Thanks, but that’s not the one I was hoping for. In “the one”, Carter was giving Brezhnev a bear-hug. You know that picture of Cindy Sheehan resting her cheek on Jesse Jackson? Carter had the same rapturous look on his face. Brezhnev, meanwhile, was bolt-upright, totally paralyzed with astonishment at Carter’s groveling. Dang, wish I could find that picture. It really captured both men.
See, here’s a reference to what I’m talking about, from no less than PBS: “...at the SALT II signing ceremony in Vienna, [Carter] embraced Leonid Brezhnev and kissed the startled apparatchik on both cheeks...”
That’s from http://www.pbs.org/newshour/character/essays/carter.html —an otherwise vomitous article.
“What is happening here is simply the silencing of a television station,” shouted soap opera actress Gledys Ibarra.
It’s called Communism Gledys...and your country voted for it....enjoy!
Not true. He turned his back on the Shah of Iran
Only because the Shah refused Jimmy's "offer" of a shakedown. Jimmy sent some of his thieving buddies to Tehran to tell the Shah that he should cancel his contract for the deep port he was building, re-let the contract to Carter's buddies at 10% higher cost so Jimmy the Crook could get his piece of the action. When the Shah declined the "offer," Carter said he would take him down, and he did. We can thank Jimmy the Crook for the mess we currently have in Iran.
The one thing we can conclude about Carter, the "pious" crook, is that he's above all, a vindictive s.o.b.
Captain blow-hard and the peanut farmer. A@@clowns of a feather flock together.
Granted, this happened when I was a kid... but who is Jimmy the Crook?
James Earl Carter, the former Democrat President.
Ok. That is what I thought.
Do you have a source for this statement because, quite frankly I never heard this before...
Jimmy was bumbling, incompetent President but I don't think he was a crook...
You would not type the quotation marks around the left arrow, as I had done. I put them there so you coud see what to type.
