From Reuters: “Chavez to Spanish king: apologize or risk business.”
CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez demanded on Tuesday Spain’s king apologize for telling him to shut up, warning that Spanish investments could suffer in its former colony because of the spat.
Chavez, who railed against imperialism and capitalism, named banks Santander and BBVA as possible targets, saying the OPEC nation did not need Spanish business.
Hey hugo, I have a message for you: the King of Spain is VERY well connected. I wouldn’t go and piss him off if I were you…
George, you left the impression that the “GO F— YOURSELF” alluded to the King was a recent tit-for-tat response back to Chavez. However, I see no such (appropriate) response.
No doubt CHAVEZON deserves it, and then some. At the same time, it’s been Chavez who seems to have caught a bad case of verbal diarrhea, notwithstanding the fact that it’s crap, and nothing but crap, that comes out of that guy’s mouth ALL OF THE TIME!
In any case, I shed absolutely NO TEARS for whatever LOSS the Spanish sharks lose in Venezuela. You ‘play with the devil – you pay with the devil’!
someone should call someone an upstart and start a good war for a change…
to war … to war …..
Just watch!
“Aqui lo que importa es el cash.” The Spaniards will be licking chavez boots soon enough. They’ve had 48 years of experience.
Spain will cream-puff, now if the King was for real he would challenge the hick to a pistol fight…at ten paces…
The title of the post was what I want JC to say to hc…
Cigar Mike: Yeah….put Hugo in a dress, and he *does* kinda resemble Margaret Dumont una pocita…. 😉 (Interesting coinkeedink that firefly posted right after you did, too! lol)
Rufus T. Firefly … he he he
Peshkatari any fan of the Marx bros. is a friend of mine.
Groucho Marx not Karl!
Honestly I’ve glad the Spanish King gave Chavez shit but those Spanish pricks deserve to lose every penny they put into Cuba and Venezuela. Fuck em.
You guys are forgetting that Spain can wipe out Venezuela if they wanted to
Hey Cigar Mike, Groucho was one of my heros when I was a little kid (I even went out trick or treating dressed as him when I was in 6th grade). I used to think the way he could pull off those one liners was sooooo cool! 🙂
