AP: Chavez calls Honduran cardinal a 'clown'

Chavez clearly has a problem with dissent and has no respect for religious leaders. President Hugo Chavez called a cardinal from Honduras an "imperialist clown" after the Roman Catholic prelate warned of increasing authoritarianism under the Venezuelan leader. "Another parrot of imperialism appeared, this time dressed as a cardinal. That's to say, another imperialist clown," Chavez was quoted as saying in a bulletin posted Tuesday on the state-run news agency's Web site. How did this un-educated fool ever get so much power!? Michael Ramirez illustrates the situation in Venezuela quite well!
