Not dead yet: Hugo Chavez can still meet Noam Chomsky!
But compared with Mr. Ahmadinejad, Mr. Chavez was just more colorful. He brandished a copy of Noam Chomsky’s “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance” and recommended it to members of the General Assembly to read. Later, he told a news conference that one of his greatest regrets was not getting to meet Mr. Chomsky before he died. (Mr. Chomsky, 77, is still alive.)
He thinks George Bush is the Devil
Iran Who? Venezuela Takes the Lead in a Battle of Anti-U.S. Sound Bites
Speaking on Wednesday from the same lectern Mr. Bush had occupied the day before, President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela announced, to gasps and even giggles: “The devil came here yesterday, right here.
“It smells of sulfur still today, this table that I am now standing in front of,” he said.
Just hours before, Mr. Ahmadinejad took issue with the great Satan, too. But what a difference. Where Mr. Chavez was Khrushchevian, waving around books and stopping just short of shoe-banging, Mr. Ahmadinejad was flowery, almost Socratic in his description of behavior that only the devil would condone.
But then he also thinks Socialism works. So it is obvious there are few other areas than obituaries in which the man is illiterate.
