Poor Hugo, He Can't Get Any Respect
Cindy Sheehan's Boy Toy, Hugo "Call Me Jug Ears" Chavez has been campaigning vigorously to have his country nominated as a non-voting member of the UN Security Council, to no avail. He has been giving away oil, calling President Bush the Devil, and what has it gotten him - nothing!.
It is not that the world loves America, it is more that the world sees Chavez as the Dictator Clown that he is. The drop in oil prices hurts Chavez, his secretly backed Latin American Candidates losing hurts Chavez, but most of all Chavez hurts Chavez. He is a yapping Chihuahua dog that puffs up it's chest, yaps continuously, but can be put in it's place by a well place kick. I say the Disgrace Mom needs to go down to Venezuela and console poor Hugo. They make a fine couple don't they.

When President Hugo Chavez called President Bush the devil at the United Nations he earned ovations, but most nations rejected his unglossed anti-Americanism this week by frustrating his bid for a Venezuelan seat on the Security Council.
...
But Chavez, who had hoped to use the seat to be a leading anti-U.S. voice on the world stage, failed to win in any of the 35 voting rounds at the General Assembly and trailed the tiny Central American nation by a margin of 20 to 30 ballots.
...
The voting showed there was little appetite around the world for following Chavez, even if Washington has irked many nations with the sort of aggressive diplomacy it used seeking support for its unpopular invasion of Iraq.
The losses also followed a disappointing second-place showing by Chavez's leftist ally in Ecuador's presidential election Sunday that exposed the limits on his ambition to export his anti-Americanism in the region.
Ecuadorean candidate Rafael Correa, who faces a run-off ballot next month, has since distanced himself from Chavez, reassuring voters he would block the Venezuelan leader from interfering in his presidency.
But with oil prices falling, a tougher-than-expected re-election bid looming in December and a faltering foreign policy, the man who is used to crowds treating him like a Messiah did not show his typical confidence this week.
