If the devil smells like sulphur, what does a Venezuelan ass smell like?
Note Aitch-Dubya’s veiled threat at the end of the clip. Heh.

I like the end, “… but, somehow these… these tyrants have a way of falling.”
And giving them a helping shove doesn’t hurt, either.

Yeah, that reminds me… Did you catch Chavez’s claim the other day, that he has a mole in the White House?
RightWinged on October 6, 2006 at 2:24 PM
Now that explains everything. There’s a mole on the ass.

What he do? accidently cut it off while shaving in the rest room?
(You decide WHAT he was shaving)

by the way, thanks for the link AP. I’d still say Clinton saying he loves George Bush is video of the day, but it’s always nice to hear politicians be real (like HW was here).

Chavez is an ass and what did he say about Michael Moore? Oh yes, slimeball.
Go Bush Sr!

Ass – I wondered what that smell was.

Since this is a devil-themed post, let me play advocate for a minute.
Chavez didn’t actually say “sulphur”, as quoted by the UN translator; and as crass as he is, I don’t think he meant to imply that W dropped rotten-egg smelling SBDs on the General Assembly the night before.
Here’s where the UN translator screwed up. Chavez actually said “it still smells like brimstone here”, as in the “fire and brimstone” context.
This is Revelation 20:10 from the Reina-Valera 1602 translation, which is like the Spanish-language King James Version.
And this is how it reads in King James.
“Azufre” literally translates as sulphur. Simultaneous translation from Spanish is quite difficult, due to all the regional nuance. Back when I did simultaneous, I waited one or two sentences just to get the context right, while translating real time in my head. Cocky bastard that I am, I was always able to run that kind of delay. However, Chavez’ translator lacked the Kid’s game, and had to go real-time, which results in a more literal translation that is prone to misinterpretation.
If Chavez is addressing the “devil’s” speech the night before, it makes sense to allude to his alleged unwieldy influence over the U.N. by stating that the assembly room still reeks of brimstone.
Don’t get me wrong; Chavez is every bit the Castro-loving, jihadi ass-kissing turd we think he is. This time, though, he was misquoted.

Hey Kid…Sure you’re really bright and apparently a linguisitic genius, but I bet you can’t translate Teddy Kennedy when he is a mumbling stupor…
dallas94 on October 6, 2006 at 3:28 PM
Yes, Dallas94…a cunning linguistic genius. Thank you, thank you all…you’ve been very kind, please remember to tip your waiter on the way out.
As far as Teddy goes, Chappaquiddick sounds the same in any language.

What ever happened to the days where a man would call another man names to his face? What ever happened to a time where a man would say, ya wanna step outside? And man, I’m from the Right, but having my Dad stick up for me? Come on GW, where is the fire? Stick up for yourself, we got your back!

Excellent explanation Kid, I appreciate that. I kind of assumed, and I hope everyone else did, that he was saying something along those lines and it was a translation thing. I never thought he meant sulfur/fart smell, but it cracks me up to think that maybe a bunch of people did.
Classic:
RightWinged on October 6, 2006 at 4:12 PM
I adore #41, and even though he has been POTUS, and knows what the press can be like..he is still a dad and it has got to hurt.
Kid- thanks for that explanation/translation. It makes sense with the other biblical quotes he was spewing.

Hell, Chris Matthews took 15 minutes to express his outrage that a head of state would engage in such sophomoric humor.
Kid from Brooklyn on October 6, 2006 at 6:09 PM
A llama fart.
infidel4life on October 6, 2006 at 8:35 PM
lol, are you serious? That wouldn’t surprise me, considering what a numbskull he is… but if he truly did that, it’s one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a while.
