A post from November 2007:
Well, I'm not much of a fan of kings or royalty. Once in a while, a monarch makes sense.
Chavez was apparently blasting former PM Aznar. The king reminded Chavez that Aznar had been elected by the Spanish people. Eventually, the king got fed up and told Chavez to shove it.
Long live the King! I guess that I'm not the only one who liked the King's expression! (Spaniards back king for telling Chavez to shut up)
"While President Hugo Chavez has been molding Venezuela into his personal socialist vision, other transformations -- less visible but equally profound -- have taken hold in the country.
Venezuela has become a major hub for international crime syndicates. What attracts them is not the local market; what they really love are the excellent conditions Venezuela offers to anyone in charge of managing a global criminal network"
It's time for a few more Latin American leaders to tell Chavez to shut up! Also, it's time for stupid US leftists to stop travelling to Caracas and play stooge. They should be aware of what is really going on in "Hugo-landia"!
