Chavez says Bush 'alcoholic' and 'sick man'

Chavez says Bush 'alcoholic' and 'sick man' - Yahoo! News (AFP)

I'm no Bush fan, but what's with this guy?

Yesterday, Chavez referred to Bush as the "diablo" (devil) in front of the whole U.N. Now this crap today.

Has the man ever heard of diplomacy? Obviously not.

He's even dissing the man right in his own country.

I have to wonder what would happen if the shoe were on the other foot and Bush talked like this about Chavez while visiting his country, Venezuela...

Reminds me of long ago when the angry Soviet Premier Khrushchev, while at the U.N., actually took his shoe off and started banging it on his desk for emphasis.

All very strange. All remarkably not diplomatic. These are not "class" acts, and not what you expect from world leaders.
