The absolutely stupidest, most moronic, supremely imbecilic thing that Bush and\or the Republicans could do would be to respond to Chavez. Nothing would bolster Chavez's standing in the international community more than to do exactly what you are suggesting.

Also, we should not be congratulating the Demoncrats for these poll-driven antics; we should be pointing out that they regularly say much worse things than Chavez said and hammer them for it.

Again, partisanship is KILLING this country. You have depraved Democrats and corrupt Republicans running things. If the other side acts less depraved, I will congratulate them. Not gonna vote for them, but Rangel did the right thing. And no, I don't think his motivation was pure.

Exactly right. I may grow old waiting for it, but you're exactly right. And it needs to be said by congressional Republicans (like Boehner), and backed up by his colleagues. (yeah, right)
