President Hugo Chavez returned to his weekly radio and TV broadcast Sunday, extolling the ideals of socialist thinker Karl Marx and telling U.S. officials to "Go to hell!" for what he called unacceptable meddling in Venezuela's affairs.
Chavez defended his government's effort to establish a socialist model and rejected U.S. concerns over a measure to grant him broad lawmaking powers, saying: "Go to hell, gringos! Go home!"
The National Assembly, controlled by the president's political allies, is expected to give final approval this week to what it calls the "enabling law," which would grant Chavez authority to pass a series of laws by decree during an 18-month period.
On Friday, U.S. State Department deputy spokesman Tom Casey said that Chavez's plans under the law "have caused us some concern."
Chavez, who this month announced plans to nationalize Venezuela's main telecommunications company and the electricity and natural gas sectors, says the law will permit profound changes in areas ranging from the economy to defense

Vaffanculo a Lei, la sua moglie, e' la sua madre. Lei e' un cafone stronzo. Io non mangio in questo merdaio! Vada via in culo!
That's not fair! My high school Spainish doesn't go that far. Please translate, please. Thanks in advance. (Yes, I know this makes me look like an empirialist, but when in Rome....)
Yer prob right!
I wish Rudy would consider that race instead of the presidency
Somebodies socialist utopia is imploding now that oil is tanking.
"Chavez, who this month announced plans to nationalize Venezuela's main telecommunications company and the electricity and natural gas sectors...."
This is not going to end well.
Calling Marx a socialist is like calling the Grand Canyon a pothole. Marx was a Commie, just as Chavez is a Commie, just as CNN is the Communist News Network.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Enough already. I know the US government does not officially allow the assassination of foreign leaders. However, isn't there anyone out there who will purge South America of this next generation Fidel Castro?
I mean, do we really need another 50 years of a Fidel Castro yipping at us while imprisoning and torturing his political enemies?
Somebody just put a bullet in this dorkwad. We forgive you in advance.
Actually it's Italian. A list of very offensive language, that if I translated, I would probably be banned. But Hugo deserves the comment.
But he's still loved by the DU, Cindy Sheehan, Code Pink, and the rest of the leftist freaks. Just like Fidel, even though Fidel was willing to nuke American cities to keep missiles in Cuba.
Sorry, but I had to post this
LOL
I think that this is taught on US college campuses.
Hey Hugo, "Tomalo por la Oreja!!!"
YOU FIRST, JACKASS!
P.S. I know you beat me to it, but I just had to get that off my chest : )
Sadly, you're not far off the mark.
