I AM THE LEADER OF A COUNTRY, NO, SERIOUSLY

Link. I had to have a little chuckle at this one. Chavez has called for legal action against Pat Robertson, which may entail extradition. Pat Robertson is quoted as saying that "...[Chavez] thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it." An asinine remark really, but an even more asinine reaction to it.
These threats of legal action are coming from the same guy who has called President Bush "Mr. Danger," and also joked that he may give the President a scare at the Summit of the Americas in Argentina in November.
"I have something in mind," Chavez said. "I will walk to him very quietly and say 'boo.'"Chavez is a close ally of Castro and is reveling in his own road to a Bolivar-inspired socialism as well as a more authoritarian rule at home. I think that he may just be a paranoid nut job.
