NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said Wednesday that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's speech at the U.N. calling President George W. Bush "the devil" doesn't deserve a response. "We're not going to address that kind of comic strip approach to international affairs," Bolton said during a televised press conference. Chavez, in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly, said, "The devil came here yesterday," referring to Bush's address Tuesday. "He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world." The leftist leader, who has joined Iran in opposing U.S. influence, accused Washington of "domination, exploitation and pillage of peoples of the world." Cable News Network reported a White House deputy spokesman saying the remarks by Chavez are "not worthy of comment."

Chevez = Little bitty small one who is a left-wing fascist and more like Stalin or Hitler. If you use CITGO products you are giving your money to this anti-American piece of scum. He should not be allowed into the United States.

I usually dislike the phrase "Bitch-slap" but it's what Bolton just did to Hugo "Girl" Chavez.

Excrement masquerading as a human isn't worthy of response.

The world is populated with far more assholes than anyone could have imagined....
The fact that a "Chavez" can come to power in an "enlightened" nation, is telling....
In a sane world -- Chavez would have been destroyed by his own people to preserve themselves.

Chavez answers press questions for an hour after his speech.

The next reply should be a stroke of George W. Bush's pen, rescinding the executive order signed by (IIRC) Jerry Ford which bans assasination of foreign heads of state.
And the quiet dispatch of a special-forces squad to Caracas to greet Chavez upon his triumphant return ...

The only reply should be a battalion of marines taking control of the Venezualen capitol. I don't really see the point. Chavez rants and raves, but he's insignificant. He can cut off oil to us, but he hasn't yet, and it's their oil to freely sell anyway. I look at the idiot as Venezuela's problem, not ours. To attack Venezuela would demonstrate Chavez's illegitimate point that we impose ourselves everywhere in the world whenever we want.
Ahmadinejad is another matter. We'll need the Marines for him. This nut romanticizes the destruction of the world, and we must stop him with whatever means we have available.

Not true. Cindy Sheehan respects him.

Wars have been started with much less invective than that, a small police action to remove Chavez would remind the rest of the world's leaders to be a little more civil to the most powerful nation on the earth.
And I no longer care what the rest of the world thinks about America, the rest of the world has gone mad, need we voluntarily check ourselves into the same asylum?
But you are right, Iran is the greater danger. But taking out Chavez would be so much fun!

At least Hitler and Mussolini knew how to dress.
The mad persian and his stubby commie pal dress like a couple of NYC winos.

The guy acts as though he was educated in U.S. colleges and universities. I am experiencing flashbacks reading what he has said and seeing him hold up Noam Chomsky's book. It is nearly everyone of my college prof's all over again.

Thank you John Bolton. You are exactly what we need as Ambassador to the UN.
Chavez is like all dictators, he is piling all the problems of his country on the US in order to cover his own useless dictatorship inadequacies.

That is the first thing that makes sense here. Time to pack our bags and come home. Perhaps it's time to throw the UN out of our country to. We paddled out own canoe for for s long time without help. Now let's see if the world can get along without us.
