The Devil was Here

On the way to class the other night I saw a flyer recommending the city to go protest Bush's speech at the United Nations on Tuesday. I didn't go, but one protester was a day late. Venezuelean President Hugo Chavez spoke at the UN today, calling Bush "the devil".

Since the whole world knows that Chavez is crazy and hates Bush, this was not a big surprise. What was a surprise to me, was Democrat representative Charles Rangel's response when Chavez repeated his sentiments in Harlem. Rangel, known for his criticism of Bush, said, "You don't come into my country, you don't come into my congressional district and criticize my president."
