Ghost of Gertrude Stein channeled at UN
You
probably heard the sound bite, but it's better than that. Yesterday at
the U.N. General Assembly Hugo Chavez spontaneously composed some
modernist poetry while bashing Bush and also seeming to trash any
chance Venezuela has of a rotating seat on the UN Security Council:"The devil is right at home. The devil. 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 sulphur still today, this table that I am now standing in front of. Yesterday, ladies and gentleman, from this rostrum, the president of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer to as the devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world, truly as the owner of the world."
It is kind of beautiful, isn't it?posted by This Broad | 11:40 PM
