		<description><![CDATA[A couple of quick corrections: the government of Venezuela isn&#039;t &quot;hostile to America,&quot; just to the assholes who run it. I travel there from time to time and have never noticed one single iota of hostility, and the food is great, too. I don&#039;t doubt that Buddy Bailey is having a fine time down there, as I always do. Yes, Venezuelans I have met used occasionally to ask me what was &quot;wrong&quot; with Bush but unfortunately my explanation of &quot;mere stupidity&quot; never did seem to satisfy them. The list of idiotic mistakes the Bush defenestration made with regard to Venezuela could fill a book the size of &lt;i&gt;War and Wa...&lt;/i&gt;heh heh, &lt;i&gt;Peace&lt;/i&gt;. One quick example: the &quot;hostile&quot; Chavez came to us back in 2002 asking for parts to repair his air force&#039;s C-130 transports. What he got was a lecture - always a great way to win over a Latino head of state - and a parts embargo, which, of course, drove him right into the arms of Antonov and Mikoyan and a spanking new and lethal Russian-made air force the equivalent of which would have been worth &lt;i&gt;billions&lt;/i&gt; to Lockheed and Boeing. But who needs jobs, anyway, right?
.
Chavez is a bumptious clown who is also crazy like a fox and whom we could have been quite comfortable with if (a) the drooling imbecile who infected the White House illegally between 2000-2008 and change hadn&#039;t tried to support a bungled coup against him despite his having actually &lt;i&gt;won&lt;/i&gt; a landslide popular election - you know, democracy and all that; (b) the drooling imbecile who infected the White House illegally between 2000-2008 hadn&#039;t done everything in his power - fortunately, in this case, seriously hamstrung by his disastrous misadventure in Iraq - to otherwise criticize, subvert and threaten the Venezuelan government, economy and people,(c) if our foreign policy in Latin America weren&#039;t so mindlessly and petulantly driven by our bizarre obsession with the broken down old farts who run Cuba (a policy which the novice currently albeit legally infecting the White House hasn&#039;t yet summoned the &lt;i&gt;cojones&lt;/i&gt; to dump), and finally, (d) if the drooling imbecile who infected the White House illegally from 2000-2008 had had even the &lt;i&gt;marginal&lt;/i&gt; smarts to realize that a vain strutting macho macho buffoon like Chavez could have been pocketed from the git-go if he had been &lt;i&gt;flattered&lt;/i&gt; instead of &lt;i&gt;bullied&lt;/i&gt;.]]></description>
