When I pointed out the vast gulf between Hugo Chavez and his "idol" Simon Bolivar, I made an observation that Chavez' ideological foes in the US shared more qualities with the founding father of Latin America than tinpot despot Chavez.
Then, the religiosity issue was brought up.
But George Bush has got nothing on Chavez when it comes to being a Christian wacko.
So, Nutty Christian dictator cozies up with nutty Muslim dictator.
So much for the great "socialist" revolution.
Ho hum, what a surprise.

John McCain was right when he called Chavez a nutjob.
I'm still amazed that Bolivar was a follower of Adam Smith. Did old Che know this when he was idolising Bolivar?
