I watched President Hugo Chavez on TV this morning. His "George Bush is a donkey" speech is a slur on honest Venezuelans. Like a decrepit Cuban gardener, he stood in casual wear with a backdrop of the garden he tends. I cannot blame him for his lack of English but I can tell him that many Venezuelans (they of the "correctness" class), must have cringed beyond a pale palor.
Here wasa President of a country acting like a bloody fool. Perhaps he should have sung a song too? What about Tingaleyo?
Bush may well be a donkey, a monkey or gorilla, but it behoves the President of a country to act like one. Chavez, at the head of South American hatred towards the US, should remember that he is a President of a country. A little diplomatic tact and demeanour would have been wise. The choice of donkeys wasa bad one. There was only one donkey in that video clip.
