Last night someone posted a video link of this exchange. I don’t speak Spanish, but it was funny anyway just seeing the expression on Chavez’s ugly face. Also, another poster observed that the King used the familiar version of the word you, “tu”, rather than the formal version, “usted”, when he dressed Chavez down with “Why don’t you just shut up?”. In other words, he addressed Chavez as one would a child, further adding to the insult. Bravo!
There are dozens of versions of the video on YouTube now, and the comments are hilarious. If the King had had longer arms, he would have bitch-slapped him. Here is a link to the video on Miguel Octavio’s blog: http://blogs.salon.com/0001330/
