Hugo Chavez: "Go To Hell, S--- Yankees!"

(Caracas, Venezuela) President Hugo Chavez has given U.S. Ambassador Patrick Duddy orders to leave Venezuela within 72 hours.

Chavez accuses Ambassador Patrick Duddy of conspiring against his government. He made the move in solidarity with Bolivia after his ally expelled the U.S. ambassador there, accusing him of aiding violent protests.

Chavez said he's also recalling the Venezuelan ambassador to Washington. And he said a new American ambassador will not be welcome in Caracas "until there's a U.S. government that respects the people of Latin America."

Maybe it's just me but it sure seems that Chavez is demanding a regime change in the United States as a prerequisite to diplomacy.

"Go to hell, s--- yankees, we are a dignified people, go to hell 100 times," Chavez shouted at a political rally to thousands of roaring supporters.

I guess that passes as dignified eloquence in the world of thug banana-republic rhetoric. Nevertheless, both Chavez and Bolivia's President Morales blame the United States for their problems with violent protesters.

Interestingly, Chavez also made the statement that he's prepared to send troops into Bolivia if there's an effort to oust his comrade Morales from office.
