Further outpouring of utter shite from Hugo Chavez’s mouth on his recent row with King Juan Carlos of Spain. He has now had the audacity to compare his suffering with that of Jesus Christ in the leadup to his crucifixion.
Should he accept the king’s injunction to shut up, “the stones of the people of Latin America would cry out”, said Chávez, paraphrasing a comment by Christ in Jerusalem shortly before his crucifixion. The Venezuelan information ministry issued press releases identifying the relevant part of the Bible.
I ask you, seriously, how pompous, arrogant and so much of an ass can one man be? There is a certain Assembly Member here in City Hall in London who is rather pompous and arrogant but I can say for almost certain he would never compare himself with Christ. My mouth actually dropped wide open when I read this today.
The fun continues in Venezuela, however, as most of Chavez’s people are going without the basics: eggs, milk and sugar. Well done, Hugo. You’re comparing your wounded pride with Christ while your people starve. Those are some fantastic socialist principles, let me tell you.
