A lot of people think Bush is out there, not just democrats. And just because Chavez is over the top, doesn't make Bush any saner. In any event, histornics are part of Chavez's public persona, in the same way Bush uses the Texan shitkicker routine. And he could be right about Bush's intentions toward him. The US has a long record of supporting political upheaval and assasinations in South America when it suits us. I could see getting rid of Chavez suiting Bush in a big way...
