With words

Am I being overly optimistic in thinking that Sr. Chavez would be more aggressive in countering Bush attempts at coups against populist Latino governments? Given Bush’s weakened state and the despicable history of US intervention in the region, I would like to think that US aided golpes will be more vigorously confronted.

If one introduces the concept of “chopped liver”, does that then permit me to propose the idea of ‘hogwash’ as a rebut?

I was figuring for Cheney and Libby and Shrub: bedpan and floor scrubbing and toilet cleaning at military hospitals, in the wards with amputees and brain injuries. Better yet, bedpan and cleaning duty in Iraq.

i believe that those three would not be welcome at any of our military hospitals. who would trust them?

ANCHORENA PARK, Uruguay - President Bush refused Saturday to be baited into verbal battle with Venezuela’s outspoken Hugo Chavez. But Bush did give his Latin American foe a gentle, if indirect, dig.

Bush drew only a quiet contrast with his fiery nemesis, who is increasing his stature in the region with colorful attacks blaming U.S.-style capitalism for poverty and inequality in Latin America at every turn. Bush said he favors a more tranquil form of engagement with his neighbors to the south.

“I would call our diplomacy quiet and effective diplomacy,” Bush said

“My message to the people in our neighborhood is that we care about the human condition and that we believe the human condition can be improved in a variety of ways,” the president said.

For South America we offer “Shucks and aws”.

The quote : “Fitzgerald said he may be inclined to share the evidence he collected over the course of three years with lawmakers if they ask for his documents.” sounds so unlike Fitzgerald.

Uncle Lou Dobbs loves to feed the “demonize Chavez” meme.

Love Lou’s populist economic rhetoric, but deep down he’s still an elitist winger.

Hugo has actually read some books (other than ones about ponies). He also gave the Emperor of Japan a hug! (all George HW Bush could manage to do in Japan was to blow groceries all over his own lap).

This is a good time to remember two classic Bush campaign sloagans:

“You know where he stands.”
“Steady leadership for times of change.”

Any Republicans still buying into those?
