¿Por qué no te callas?: Hugo Chavez Still Won´t Shut It

A week after the King of Spain told Hugo Chavez to put a sock in it (video) at a summit of Spanish speaking countries in Chile, Venezuela’s self-important president is already back at proving that would be impossible for him to do.

This time Chavez is at the OPEC summit giving a preemptive warning to the United States just in case it should do anything to harm his friend Ahmadinejad in Iran. (The two of them paired up to make a few bold statements on the floor of the UN, including Chavez’s declaration that George Bush is “the devil.”)

This isn’t the first instance this week in which Chavez has made economic threats to powerful nations; he has threatened Spanish investment in his country if King Juan Carlos does not offer an apology for telling him to shut up.

I suspect the King merely vocalized the feelings of a large part of the world when he went after Chavez last weekend, but part of me feels it´d be pretty entertaining if this guy bounced from one summit to another every weekend, if only to see what else he might suggest. Endless office for himself? Nuclear power for Venezuela? Keep an eye on him…

    Hugos economic threats to both companies who want to work in Venezuela or to countries who question his motive or abilities, are well regarded by entrepreneurs across the world as motivation for their own economic opportunity. One million pounds worth of ringtones alone have been sold since the “por que no te callas” incident. Companies like ours (neighborhoodlems.com) are benefitting from our hugely popular shirts featuring Hugo and the famous phrase.
