Hugo Chavez Delivers A Roundhouse Punch To George W. Bush
Robert Paul Reyes
March 20, 2006
These are not the best of times for George W. Bush, the president is like a heavyweight boxer desperately trying to hold on until the final round, while the champ mercilessly pummels him.
BAM: A Newsweek poll shows his disapproval rating hitting a new low of 65%.
BOOM: Senator Russ Feingold is calling for his censure.
CRUNCH: 27 U. S. Reps call for an impeachment inquiry of George W. Bush.
WHOOP: The situation in Iraq continues to disintegrate, with the nation at the verge of civil war.
SLAP: Jessica Simpson snubs the president, refusing to meet with him to promote her charity.
And now, to mix my metaphors, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has stepped up to the plate, and delivered a punishing series of jabs to the doddering Dubya.
Chavez called Bush a donkey, an alcoholic as well a drunkard, in response to a White House report branding the leader of Venezuela a demagogue.
President Bush has enough troubles on the home front, he doesn't need to pick any fights with Chavez.
Venezuela supplies about 15% of U.S. crude imports; we shouldn't provoke the leader of this oil rich country.
Just because Chavez is a socialist, that doesn't make him a demagogue. Chavez has excellent relations with his neighbors; if only Bush had as good relations with our European allies.
Unlike Bush who lost to Al Gore and barely beat John Kerry, Chavez won an overwhelming victory in a recall referendum in 2004.
The Bush administration should stop trying to destabilize the popularly elected government of Hugo Chavez. The feisty leader of Venezuela won't deliver a knockout blow to Bush, but he did bloody his nose.
Bush may have given up alcohol, but he is definitely punch drunk. I hope that the calls for his impeachment will continue to grow.
