I loved this.  The Ibero-American summit of Spanish-speaking nations went off WITH a hitch.  As could be expected, the demagogic asshole dictator of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, was running his mouth again.  This time, he went too far for one nation.

The king of Spain told Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to “shut up” Saturday during a heated exchange at a summit of leaders from Latin America, Spain and Portugal.

Chavez, who called President Bush the “devil” on the floor of the United Nations last year, triggered the exchange by repeatedly referring to former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar as a “fascist.”

Aznar, a conservative who was an ally of Bush as prime minister, “is a fascist,” Chavez said in a speech at the Ibero-American summit in Santiago, Chile. “Fascists are not human. A snake is more human.”

Spain’s current socialist prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, responded during his own allotted time by urging Chavez to be more diplomatic in his words and respect other leaders despite political differences.

“Former President Aznar was democratically elected by the Spanish people and was a legitimate representative of the Spanish people,” he said, eliciting applause from the gathered heads of state.

Spain’s king, Juan Carlos, was not amused at Hugo’s assault on his nation’s former democratically-elected prime minister.  The video above is in Spanish, but you get the idea.

Hugo needs to keep his BS to himself.  His attempts to demonize leaders who embrace democracy and interfere in other nations affairs is getting old.  I was glad to see Zapatero intervene and rebuke Chavez even though I consider Zapatero to be pretty much worthless.

Things aren’t looking good for prospects on getting rid of Hugo, but I’ll continue to hold out hope.  It was just fun to see him “slapped down” by somebody like the King of Spain.  I don’t hold out any hopes that Hugo will learn from this though.  Fancy him deciding who is a “human.”  In my view, he doesn’t qualify.
