Hugo Chavez to Bush: "You're the devil...um, and you smell really bad!"


I work at a law firm that shares space with an organization called the NEFA foundation. It stands for "Nine-Eleven: Finding Answers." They fund counterterrorism, or something along those lines. Whenever people get arrested on planes, or there's a military coup in another country, or a world leader calls Bush a name, they get mad and the office gets busy. I just overheard them talking about this in hushed, intense voices, so I went to CNN.com to see what the big deal was.

Hugo Chavez told Bush he smelled bad. Hahaha, so playground insults carry over into adulthood in Venezuela? To be fair, this is the actual quote (via CNN):

"The devil came here yesterday," Chavez said, referring to Bush, who addressed the world body Tuesday from the same lectern. "And it smells of sulfur still today."
