Chávez: Bush is "more dangerous than a monkey with a razor blade"

[kskiska]

Chávez makes a monkey of Bush

In the lexicon of political insults it will take some beating. Already known for his somewhat colourful use of language Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez has probably written himself into the history books for a new sidewipe at his US counterpart George Bush.

In the latest salvo in the war of words between the two countries Mr Chávez described Mr Bush as "evil," a "criminal" but then added that he was "more dangerous than a monkey with a razor blade".

The comment came during a news conference in Caracas in which Mr Chávez responded to accusations made earlier this week by Mr Bush that he was "undermining ... democratic institutions" by the recent passage of a controversial enabling law to allow for government by decree.

Referring to the war in Iraq, Mr Chávez said that both Mr Bush and John Negroponte, the US director of national intelligence, should be tried for "war crimes ... the two of them are criminals. They should be tried and thrown in prison for the rest of their days." He added: "I pray to God for the people of the United States. I hope they're capable of liberating themselves from the tyranny they have. Who would be the greater fascist - Hitler or Bush? They might end up in a draw."

[Hoping4Change]

30. I'll second that.

[bananarepublican]

56. Viva Chavez! Viva Morales! Viva Ortega!

Chavez should do a weekly Dave Letterman style Late Show and broadcast it to the world.

I wonder if O'Reilly would have the guts to appear on Chavez's 'No Phone Sex Zone'!!!

[EFerrari]

2. No kidding, Mr. Chavez.

lol

[arcos]

3. He is right, but really... doesn't he get tired of bashing Bush?

Personally I wouldn't, but if I were a head of state I think my time would be better spent in other stuff.

[Hardrada]

9. He has to make up for the rest of who are never seen, published,

or in any way acknowledged when we voice our contempt for Shrub!

[The Count]

26. Why? Did W get tired of trying to depose him? You know he had him kidnapped

right?

[Cha]

32. Does bush get tired of

sending people to their death and crippling them for life?

It's a small thing for Chavez to do..the bushriech is always saying how dangerous Chavez is ..well, it's Chavez' rebuttal.

[yurbud]

33. I'd like to hear my representatives say this

[Drum]

4. Kick & Rec for that splendid phrase!

8. "They should be tried and thrown in prison for the rest of their days."

"I pray to God for the people of the United States. I hope they're capable of liberating themselves from the tyranny they have. Who would be the greater fascist - Hitler or Bush? They might end up in a draw."

Chavez is a truthteller. Even when it offends those who spout Corporatist dogma here and elsewhere. Good for him.

[femrap]

43. I still remember the 'sulphur' comment

Chavez made at the UN. Whenever I see a car with a 'W' sticker on it, I say to myself, 'Sulphur, I smell the sulphur of our Pres, the Devil!'

Gives me a laugh...

[Usrename]

10. Viva Chavez!

He can really be very entertaining, especially when talking about such a dark subject.

[Robeson]

11. Hard to disagree with that one.

[RegimeChange2008]

12. Well, we all know George is a dangerous monkey.....

But I thought he didn't play with razor blades (and mirrors and straws) anymore?

Does Chavez have some new info on what happens behind closed doors at the Pig Farm?

[Bonobo]

13. Funniest. Line. Ever. And True! K&R.

[Kingshakabobo]

14. .

[LaurenG]

15. Oh

:rofl: :rofl:

[malaise]

16. I love Chavez

He speaks the truth re Bush with such humour. Guess he learnt that from Fidel.

[magellan]

17. The best jokes are true

...even if Chavez wasn't joking. Wicked funny!

[Twist_U_Up]

18. Sing it Hugo , Sing it !!

Dubyas arch enemy and nemesis.

[pampango]

19. "Takes one to know one"

Sorry. I just couldn't resist. I haven't gotten into a name calling contest since I was a kid. Not very mature, I know.

[KG]

20. Bush to Chavez: 'oh yeah?'

Chavez rocks.

can't wait for the mental midgets to show up and loudly remind us all that he's a dictator and all.... :eyes:

[yurbud]

35. I can imagine what Bush says about him in private...

[mtnester]

21. The more I hear him insult Bush...the more I am utterly CONVINCED

He reads the internets, blogs and forums.

I would put money on it...this message board included.

[HuffleClaw]

22. *snicker*

he's right of course

[Meshuga]

23. I'm not a fan of Chavez BUT

this one is too good. The mental picture I get from this statement is the best! LOL

[ProudDad]

52. I'm sincerely, genuinely interested

in why you're not a "fan" of Chavez?

[lonestarnot]

24. OMG

:rofl: He tops the sulfur remark! The monkey is currently running with scissors.

[sofa king]

27. Hee hee.

[BreweryYardRat]

28. It's a good line, but a later one annoyed me.

"Who would be the greater fascist - Hitler or Bush? They might end up in a draw."

Hitler was deliberately evil. I think Bush is just grossly fucking incompetent.

[tavalon]

29. Our silverspoon sociopath is quite incompetent, true,

but never lose sight of the fact that he is a sociopath bordering on being a psychopath and it is on those lines that he crosses with Hitler.

[ProudDad]

53. No, he's not incompetent

he's genuinely, functionally evil to the core...

[arikara]

54. The families of

500,000 dead Iraqi's might agree with bush being deliberately evil. Incompetence doesn't cover what he did / is doing to that country.

IMO the only difference is in the numbers.

[goodhue]

31. I'm not familiar with the allusion

But it sounds pretty dangerous

[rebel with a cause]

47. Chavez is perhaps a Poe fan.

Read the "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" or (spoiler ahead) I will just tell you that the horrible murders were done by a orangutan with its master's razor.

[yurbud]

34. Chavez was too kind: should have said retarded sociopath monkey with 10,000 nuclear warheads and..

oil companies holding his leash.

[IDemo]

36. From "Mr. Dangerous" to "el Diablo" to "el mono peligroso"

hard to argue with any of Chavez's nicknames for our dear leader...

[Pastiche423]

37. How do you complete that

"with a razor blade"?

[IDemo]

44. "con una hoja de afeitar" n/t

[Pastiche423]

45. Gracias!

[Porcupine]

49. ...Monkey with a hand grenade In a crowded elevator?

But Chavez has more poetry.

[screembloodymurder]

38. I like this guy.

He's funny and he tells the truth.

[darkstar7646]

39. He's right...

... and if I said truly what needed to happen to neutralize that razor-blade wielding moron, they'd sic the Secret Service on me.

[Jim Warren]

40. I see it now

[Jack Rabbit]

41. A monkey with a nuclear arsenal?

I guess that beats a monkey with a razor blade.

[originalpckelly]

42. Yeah, he's a monkey with nukes...

:scared:

[killbotfactory]

46. I am outraged

This is an insult to monkeys.

[MasonJar]

48. You tell him, Hugo. Don't you just know that these remarks just

irritate Bush immensely! Sorry, W, there are some people it's better not to try to overthrow. They don't like it.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

50. I guess everyone in the world is reminded of a monkey when they see Bush

I'll bet even Blair and Putin refer to him as the monkey in private.

[smoogatz]

51. More dangerous, and not as smart.

A truly disastrous combination.

[Maddy McCall]

55. LOL. I love regional insults.

:rofl:
