[...] Do you notice what appears in the middle of that? Hmmmm…applause. Amazing, but as he stood in a building on land provided by our country, he had the unmitigated temerity to make that statement…and the UN members, those paragons of respect and appropriateness, rather than condemning his comments, rather, applauded the inappropriate comments of President Chavez…and lest you think that this was an isolated incident, imagine the surprise when President Chavez was later in the day warmly welcomed at Cooper-Union. For those of you who are not aware, Cooper-Union has a history of hosting important speeches On February 27, 1860, the school’s Great Hall became the site of a historic address by a little-known attorney from Illinois, then an undeclared candidate for the Republican Party’s Presidential nomination. Abraham Lincoln’s dramatic speech opposed Stephen A. Douglas on the question of federal power to regulate and limit the spread of slavery to the federal territories and new States. Widely reported in the press and reprinted throughout the North in pamphlet form, the speech galvanized support for Lincoln and contributed to his gaining the Party’s nomination for the Presidency. Coincidentally, Peter Cooper himself ran for President in 1876. Since then, the Great Hall has served as a platform for many historic addresses by American Presidents Grant, Cleveland, Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and most recently, Bill Clinton. Clinton spoke on May 12, 1993 about reducing the federal deficit and on May 23, 2006, as the Keynote Speaker at The Cooper Union’s 147th Commencement along with Anna Deavere Smith. To this day, the Great Hall continues to serve as an important metropolitan art space, hosting lectures and performances by key figures such as Steve Reich, Salman Rushdie, Ralph Nader, Richard Stallman, Rudolph Giuliani, and Pema Chodron.

It’s a curious time in the world, and in the U.S. when Hillary Clinton is the only prominent Dem. to denounce the “kill the current POTUS” movie and Bill Clinton the only one, mildly, disagreeing with the human toilet, Chavez.

Yet, the “enough is enough, vote Democrat” bumper stickers are surfacing. Yeah, I sure will! Every day you give me a new reason to do so.

How about you? You know, the one where he said he thought the U.N. ought to get out of the U.S.A.? I say, let’s do it and do it now. Not tomorrow, not next week, not next month – let’s start tomorrow. Pink slips, one-way plane tickets back …

Maybe I'm just a stickler for the facts, but Larry King softening Chavez's comments by saying he "likened" President Bush to the devil annoyed me more than Clinton's predictable response to the question. Here is what Chavez said (English translation)

The Devil himself is right in the house. And the devil came here yesterday. Yesterday the devil came here. Right here. Right here. And it smells of sulfur still today.

I'm not sure how long it will be up, but the full video of Chavez's comments can be seen here.

What clinton meant is that chavez shouldn’t have said it OUT LOUD where any rational person might be able to hear it. He would havce applauded it himself if chavez had said it in a closed meeting with the DNC or the House or Senate Democrat Caucus etc.

RobCon: I caught that too; Surprised me a freudian slip like that from a CNN news reader. I thought they were completely indoctrinated.

Jiggity is right, why should we be surprised at this? However, if the shoe was on the other foot the Dims would be demanding the loudest apology and show the most outrage in the world. However, it almost seemed to me like he was saying “well wish he hadn’t said it (note to self it’s true though) blah blah blah!”
