Hugo Chavez continues to show that he is a sad little man. Today he wandered around Harlem calling President Bush an "alcoholic" and a "sick man".
Speaking while walking in a Harlem street, Chavez told a group of passers-by: "Bush is an alcoholic, a sick man with a lot of hang-ups."
"He walks like John Wayne," declared the left-wing Venezuelan leader. "He doesn't know anything about politics, he got there because of Daddy." Bush's father, George Bush, was also a US president.
In a controversial speech before the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, Chavez called Bush "the devil" and "a tyrant."
Chavez went to Harlem to announce the expansion of a programme to send cheap Venezuelan oil to poor families in New York.
I noticed today that both Nancy Pelosi and Charles Rangel condemned Chavez's speech to the UN. Good for them. It must be kind of embarrassing for a little man like Chavez to draw attention to the more vitriolic talking points that the left has itself used in the past.
