What's wrong with Hugo?

So Hugo Chavez goes out blasting the president at the UN. Like most pompous dictators he got a standing ovation from the rest of the world oppressors. What does this say about him? Well he obviously can't accept that a country like America is free to elect someone he doesn't like, unlike his country where he seized power in a vastly fraudulent election.

But the topper to the story is this...Charles Rangel came out blasting Chavez for his comments...Sort of. He spent 2 minutes kissing Hugo's rear end and about 2 seconds criticizing him. The only thing I find more odd is the silence on the behalf of the Republican party. But In all fairness, criticizing Bush is one of Charles biggest pass times so it is no wonder he didn't want to sound like a maniacal crazy dictator.
