In what is likely an attempt to distract the public from the referendum to impose a dictatorship on themselves, (T)Hugo Chavez has escalated his rhetoric against the President of Colombia, Alvaro Uribe. He has done this sort of thing before, of course. He picked a fight with Vicenti Fox of Mexico in 2005.
The announcement came after a series of sharp exchanges between Chavez and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe over the Venezuelan's removal as a mediator between Colombia's government and rebels.
"While President Uribe is president of Colombia I will have no type of relationship with him or with the government in Colombia," Chavez said.
Speaking in the southwestern state of Tachira, Chavez said he will not have any relationship with a "president who is capable of such barefaced lies, disrespects another president that he has called a friend, one that he called on for help."
If he holds to that standard, will he stop talking to himself, too? Inquiring minds want to know.

I assume it’s the AP translator that got it wrong? The term is “baldfaced lies.”
