Rangel Slams Chavez…

Representative Charlie Rangel (Dem NY) is criticizing Venezuelan President for Life Hugo Chavez for his comments on “our” president. Rangel a noted critic of my president took offense that some foreigner was barging in on his turf. Later in what can only be described as an amazing coincidence, Nancy Pelosi also attacked Chavez for his comments in Harlem.
Say what you will about these two hucksters, (well, okay, three) I am still waiting for a Republican to step up and slam this little thug from south of the border. Word is that the Republicans have formed a committee and will have a statement within the next few weeks….don’t hold your breath.

Update....the slumbering giant awakens.

Republicans have finally decided to get on board and denounce the tin pot dictator from Venezuela for being a, well, tin pot dictator. (Boehner and Santorum comments are available at NRO) The impact on the Main Stream Media lovefest with Rangel/Pelosi will no doubt suffer as they have to credit Republicans for defending Bush. About time.

Now, will Rangel/Pelosi have any comments the next time Jimmah Carter begins to yap about what should be. Me thinks not. Therein lies the difference.
