Is This Clown for Real?

I know I'm like 3 days behind on this one, but is Hugo Chavez not the biggest clown job on the block?

In his speech to the United Nations Wednesday, the Venezuelan president called George Bush "the devil," adding that the podium "still smells like sulfur." He then crossed himself, Catholic-style.

Next, Chavez went all Oprah on us, recommending we read Noam Chomsky's Hegemony or Survival.

And he says that it's our fault that the UN is irrelevant? Hmmmmmmm......

To conclude, I've got some questions for the group:

1. If Hugo Chavez were to host a "Clowns of the Round Table" dinner, who else would he invite? Who would be the guest of honor?

2. If Hugo Chavez were to start his own Oprah-esque reading club, what other titles would he choose?
