If This Doesn't Make You Mad

"UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called President Bush 'the devil' in a speech to the United Nations on Wednesday, making the sign of the cross in a dramatic gesture and accusing him of 'talking as if he owned the world'.

As was the case when Iran's Ahmadinejad spoke yesterday evening, the main U.S. seat in the assembly hall was empty as Chavez spoke. However, the U.S. Ambassador John Bolton told The Associated Press that a "junior note-taker" was present, as is customary "when governments like that speak."

What's the world coming to? And I mean that quite literally.
