Chavez mocks Clinton as "blond Condoleezza"

Fri Mar 5, 8:44 pm ET
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo mocked U.S. Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton on Friday as a "blond" version of her predecessor, and
said a row with Spain over alleged links with rebel groups was over.

Visiting Latin America this week, Clinton said the Obama administration's
policies towards the region were helping blunt the criticism of the United
States by leftist leaders like Chavez.

"To me, she's like Condoleezza Rice ... a blond Condoleezza," said the
Venezuelan, referring to former U.S. president George W. Bush's secretary of
state, with whom he exchanged frequent harsh words at long-distance.

Citing comments by Clinton in Brazil, Chavez said she was proving to be
equally aggressive. "She comes to Brazil to provoke us, to try and divide us
from our brothers."

While taking a familiar pop at the United States, Chavez was more
conciliatory towards Spain.

President Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's government stirred Chavez's wrath
this week by demanding an explanation of a judge's accusations that
Venezuela had helped Basque ETA and Colombian FARC rebels plot possible
attacks on Spanish soil.

But Chavez said after a conversation with Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel
Angel Moratinos, he was satisfied that Madrid was now simply requesting
information, not making accusations.

"The response from the Spanish government has been acceptable," he said,
praising Zapatero and Moratinos' "maturity" and blaming the affair on
Europe's "fascist right".

Yeah, Chavez and Clinton they have a lot differences.

Clinton is a hard-core Socialist, Trotsky style. Chavez is a hard-core
Socialist, Stalinist style.

You people despise Chavez. Hate everything about him. Now he says
someothing your twisted, sick little mind finds amusing and now you
are quoting him. Do you pathetic losers have no shame?

Anyone else notice Chavez bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Potatohead?

We only quote him because he despises us quoting him.
