Come-Uppance of Notable Timeliness
For, after all, it's about time that that unregenerate windbag was told to shove off. Why is it deemed to be impolite, perhaps even impolitic to inform Hugo Chavez that no one appreciates his insulting verbiage, in no uncertain terms? He himself expects that his inflammatory outbursts of condemnation and denunciation of those regimes which he finds fault with are entirely acceptable.But when a noted dignitary, indeed the very Monarch of a country whose most elevated parliamentarians he insults with impunity in his barbaric way of choice, stalks out of his presence in disgust, recommending that he cease and desist, complaints rise up from his coterie of socialist dictators. Here is none other than Fidel Castro returning the many favours Hugh Chavez has showered upon him by stalwartly protesting the insult to his friend.
"When the King of Spain in an abrupt way asked Chavez, 'Why don't you shut up?', in that instant, the hearts of all Latin America quivered", according to Mr. Castro. Oh dear, the quivering hearts of Latin America in disconcerted concert of paranoia presents a miserable picture of heart-piercing angst. They will not forget ancient wrongs of imperialism as their hearts throb with the pain of it.
Well, bloody well about time. Mr. Chavez would try anyone's patience. Why confer the dignity of tolerance upon a personality so bereft of a sense of fitness in the manner in which he describes others, in the distasteful contempt with which he seasons his language when speaking of nations and legislators outside his socialist grouping?
He may elicit smirking acknowledgement from his ideologically-identical admirers in ascribing the devil's companionable helpmeet to a U.S. president, but no one may find fault with his cantankerously poisonous slurs. His twisted beliefs and adherence to the fiction that he is his people's Messiah is as pathetic as Robert Mugabe's insistence that he is the kindly God-father of Zimbabwe.
Mr. Chavez, after all, finds company in the strangest of positions and geographies, from Iran and Somalia, to Hamas and Hezbollah. And while he lavishes his oil riches in generous dollops to those within his circle whom he is happy to cultivate, he ruthlessly encourages his supporters to violently challenge the right of his political opponents to critique his dictatorship.
Just shut up and go away.
