I find it interesting that people who blindly insult the President now can be compared to this lunatic.

Perhaps Rangel & Pelosi heard their words come out of the mouth of a lunatic and other people laughed at him. Perhaps in their head they thought; “Do these people laugh at me when I say that about Bush?”

Pelosi and Rangel may be power hungry leftists who are seriously out of touch with mainstream America, but they are not completely stupid. It is one thing for a congressman to take rhetorical cheap shots at the opposition party, done correctly that labels you as a wise alternative in the next election. It is another thing entirely to allow such statements from a visiting head of state in your own district. Voters see that as a lack of leadership. Not a good sign for a sitting politician. The home turf must be protected.

Many Bush-hating Democrats may have winced at Chavez’s U.N. performance, and it certainly left many Americans puzzled and aghast. What’s gone unnoticed, however, is that Chavez has regularly treated Venezuelans to this same type of bizarre performance for the past eight years. He is fond of regularly breaking into evening television programs for rambling three-hour harangues just like at the U.N. They can be about anything and anyone.

Early in 1998, when I was living in Caracas, I sensed that Chavez was losing support when Venezuelans — including those who originally voted for him — started to complain that they were missing their favorite “telenovelas” because Chavez was monopolizing the TV channels. The turning point came one night when many Venezuelans, during one of those performances, leaned out their apartment windows and started banging their pots and pans with kitchen spoons — a common protest in Latin America.

Many in the MSM portray the political situation in Venezuela as being all about Chavez’s attempt to bring “social justice” to the country: it’s a struggle between rich and poor and even, of all things, a “racial” struggle between Venezuela’s upper-class “whites” and its “darker” lower classes. Yet the fact is that many in Venezuela’s middle and upper-middle classes voted for Chavez –and then quickly became disillusioned over his bizarre and autocratic behavior and actions. Now, Chavez’s U.N. performance has given Americans a chance to see what Chavez and Venezuela are really all about.

I agree. I know everyone is seeing the Rangel/Pelosi statements as politically expedient “crowd control…”

But I have to hope that it is something more…that perhaps they have opened their eyes and seen two madmen come on the heels of the only person who seems to be serious about keeping us safe and making the world a better place.

If not, if this is more politicking and posturing…well, it might still help to strengthen, not weaken, America’s hands.

But it’s true that the poison-tongue/disrespect politics of the past 5 years (recall, Rangel called Bush “Bull Connor”) has made these despots think they can do this. Mushareff, too, seems to think that Bush is weak, and that is largely thanks to the press and the Democrats. They’ve played a game that is now going to cost America something, unless they can halt the play.
