I saw Sen. Chuck Schumer on FOX & Friends this morning really rip into Hugo Chavez. I wish I had the transcript, but he basically said that Chavez is a demagogue whose made his country poor and most likely simply isn't smart enough to last much longer. It seems most Republicans are just not dignifying Chavez with a response, but it's still cool to see the thug called what he is by our politicians.

Far as I see it, even the worst Democrat politician out there still has plenty of standing to look down on that moron Hugo.

UPDATE:

I know some people think some of the Democrats speaking out about Chavez are just posturing (and some probably are), but what I liked about Schumer's remarks were it was exactly what I thought about Chavez (I don't think a Republican could have made the point more forcefully) and he didn't temper the remark by adding some criticism of President Bush. If he was just acting angry about Chavez, it was really good acting.
