In September 2006 when Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called George W. Bush the Devil at the United Nations, the Bush-hating press couldn't get enough of the comment.
On Friday, Chavez spoke to the U.N. climate change conference in Copenhagen after President Obama made his keynote address, and much as he did three years ago, the Venezuelan despot said, "It still smells of sulfur here," referring to the lectern.
Given the attention Chavez's claim got three years ago when he made it about Bush, how will Obama-loving media report such a statement being made about their hero? (video embedded below the fold with transcript, h/t Fausta):

HUGO CHAVEZ: That's why we thank the president for giving President Morales and me a chance to speak.
It would have been regrettable if they had attempted to veto us in this meeting. I don't even want to think about it, no, nor suspect it.
As Lula already said, the Kyoto Protocol can not be declared dead or extinguished, which is what the US pretends to do.
Which is why Evo tells a great truth: If Obama, Nobel War Prize, said here, by the way, it smells of sulfur here.
It smells of sulfur. It keeps smelling of sulfur in this world.
The Nobel War Prize has just said here that he came to act. Well, then show it, sir, don't leave by the back door, eh?
Do everything you need to do for the US to adhere to the Kyoto Protocol, and let's respect Kyoto, and empower Kyoto, and respond to the world in a transparent fashion.
Readers are advised that when Chavez made this comment about Bush in 2006, the media were all over it.
A Google search of "Chavez," "Bush," and "Devil" yielded over 40,000 results. There's even a Wikipedia page about it.
This was such a popular media incident that when Chavez told the U.N. the sulfur smell was gone in September 2009 -- a reference to Bush being out of the White House and Obama being in -- the press had another field day with the story.
With that in mind, it should be fascinating to see how the Obama-loving media report this now that the tables have been turned on the object of their affection.
Stay tuned.

Why is that asscheese not dead yet?????
No No No you have it wrong he called George Bush the devil again ,NOW the media will cover it
“Venezuelan despot said, “It still smells of sulfur here,” referring to the lectern.”
Must’ve been the hard boiled eggs and five alarm chili 0bama ate before his speech. :)
sorry but is there anyone left in this world who gives only a rats a$$ about what Hugo Chavez has to say?
a silly little unimportant man who rants about everyone ,beside his buddy Ahmadinejad of course.
‘’It keeps smelling of sulfur in this world’’. Well Hugo old boy, you can fix that. Yes you can old chap. Kill yourself. Then the world won’t stink of you and your ‘’sulfur’’.
I'll bet GW is really hurt he is no longer the Devil,the title goes to Chavez old friend Obama..
Hgo keeps smelling sulphur because it’s a taste of his environment to come; That guy in the red suit who keeps checking your pulse is not Santa, Hugo.
It must really hurt to be publicly dissed by one of your heroes.
...and I never thought I would agree with Hugo Chavez on anything.
OBAMA THE DEVIL-—COULDN’T AGREE MORE
SYMPATHY FOR A ZERO
Sung to the tune of SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL (no disrespect meant for Mick & Keith)
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of stealth and race
I’ve been around for a short, short time
Hid my past at the fastest pace
I cheer on the ground where Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Israel
was thrown into a murderous fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope is my refrain
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my change
I slunk from the troops in Afghanistan
and Iran when they tried for a change
Filled the Czars theyre so sinister
Constitution screamed in vain
I stole the banks
with a Chairmans rank
When depression raged
And the Fed it stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope is my refrain, oh yeah
Ah, what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my change, oh yeah
(wee wee, wee wee)
I watched with glee
When my unions reigned
Ruined the ten decades
Of the cars they made
(who who, who who)
I shouted out,
“Who killed the Energy?”
When after all
It was cap and fee
(who who, who who)
Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of stealth and race
And I laid tax for carbon doors
That get killed before they reached Bombay
(woo woo, who who)
Pleased to meet you
Hope is my refrain, oh yeah
(who who)
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my change, oh yeah, get down, baby
(guess who, guess who)
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(woo woo, who who)
Just as all my crap is so criminal
And all my motives feints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
‘Cause I’m in need of huge restraint
(wee wee, wee wee)
So if you beat me
Have some brutality
Have some viciousness, put me in chains
(yea who)
Use all your saved hostilities
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, mmm yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)
Pleased to meet you
Are you sick of my refrain, mmm yeah
(who who)
But what angers you
Is the nature of my change, mmm mean it, get down
(woo woo, woo woo)
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
(woo woo)
Tell me baby, Husseins my name
Call me Barry, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, Baraks my name
I tell you one time, you’re to blame
Oh, who
woo, woo
Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What’s my name
Tell me, baby, Baraks my name
Tell me, sweetie, what’s my name
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Woo woo
Woo woo
Nice rendition of the Stones song.
This should be given airtime during Zero’s 2012 campaign.
Uh, the media will ignore it and it’ll slide down the memory hole.
How about that. I agree with Chavez.
This is, of course, just a fake public distancing maneuver. They're on the same side about everything.


That’s a heck of a lot of talk from the man that leads one of the world’s largest CO2 (oil) exporting countries.
