Pay No Attention to Idiot at the Podium

Even the dummest assed among us must have been annoyed at the response to the remarks of Mr Chavez at the UN yesterday.
Calling President Bush the Devil was laughable and so amateurish and indeed childish that one had to wonder if something had been lost in the translation. But after the repetition, it was clear that this buffoon was in fact saying those things in front of a world audience.

The thing that annoyed me was the applause he got at the end. Not polite applause from diplomats who wanted to encourage a dialogue, however rocky and halting the start. No, this was a jubulant, encouraging applause of appreciation from an audience that wanted to hear an encore.

So, in the spirit of diplomacy for which I am well known, the DFM hereby declares my new peace plan:

1) The UN Headquarters should be moved to Caracas. All Emmisaries who applauded the speech have three days to pack-up and leave.

2) The US is no longer contributing money or troops to UN causes or programs. Good by suckers!

3) The Pope must apologize for Chavez's remarks.

By the way, I have to credit Bill O'Reilly with the observation that If the USA is so bad how come millions of people from South America are trying to get in? How many people are trying to get into Venezuela?
Huh? HuH?
