TIME: But doesn't your rhetoric--referring to Bush, for example, as an "alcoholic"--risk alienating potential allies?

CHAVEZ: First of all, Bush has called me worse: tyrant, populist dictator, drug trafficker, to name a few. I was simply telling a truth that people should know about this President, a man with gigantic power.

TIME: Is all of this mostly for domestic consumption back in Venezuela?

CHAVEZ: No. American author Noam Chomsky in his book [Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance] talks of two superpowers in today's world--one is the U.S., which aggressively wants to dominate the world, and the other is global public opinion. I don't consider what I'm saying personal attacks on President Bush--I want to wake up U.S. and global public opinion about him.

Wow, I'm impressed he sat down with that right-wing rag of government propaganda. And they weren't too harsh on him, either! I guess it's in vogue now in the US to poke fun at the president, he is, after all, not capable of winning the next election, unless he revokes that law, too. So it's safe now.

Any ideas who the GOP will run to replace him? Condi? That would be the real trump! Get the black vote, the woman's vote, and the war monger's vote! You'd have to pay off the KKK, I mean the NRA, to keep quiet, though.

I'll bet they'll go for someone a little brighter than bush. Maybe someone who can make a complete sentence before making a complete ass of himself. John McCain? Rudi Guiliani? I doubt they'd put anyone from the current admin up for President but Guiliani would be able to carry on the "tough on terror", lead by fear type of leadership that the Republicans have been relying on for the past 5 years.

Senator John McCain received 20%, followed by Giuliani at 12%, and Kind'a'Lazy Rice at 10%. Newt Gingrich received 5% of the votes.

Chavez is now in a position where people will listen to him.

"I don't consider what I'm saying personal attacks on President Bush--I want to wake up U.S. and global public opinion about him."

He will do well to restrict his voice as to what he suggests in the a/m. if all his speachs start with "anti-Bush", people will tire of it. His credibility in the US is not of a high esteem and his lessons have to be taught slowly. Bush has labeled him as an enemy to the USA simply because Chavez hasn't given in to him. I have no doubt Harper will soon join Bush in his dispatch. The American & Canadian Governments has shown they listen to no one.
