Chavez: Bush “Alcoholic, Sick John Wayne”

From Turkey’s Turkish Press:

Chavez says Bush ‘alcoholic’ and ‘sick man’

NEW YORK – Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez launched a new personal attack against President George W. Bush on Thursday, calling the US leader an "alcoholic" and a "sick man" during a tour of the New York district of Harlem.

Speaking while walking in a Harlem street, Chavez told a group of passers-by: "Bush is an alcoholic, a sick man with a lot of hang-ups."

"He walks like John Wayne," declared the left-wing Venezuelan leader. "He doesn’t know anything about politics, he got there because of Daddy." Bush’s father, George Bush, was also a US president.

In a controversial speech before the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, Chavez called Bush "the devil" and "a tyrant."

Chavez went to Harlem to announce the expansion of a programme to send cheap Venezuelan oil to poor families in New York.

Keeping talking Hugo.

You’re doing great.
