Charlie Rangel has an interesting idea:

“If there’s any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not,” Rangel said at a Washington news conference.

Isn’t it amazing, the absurd things that politicians for one reason or another say?

I, for one, am grateful that there is a Hugo Chavez to come to New York and ridicule that war criminal in the White House.

As he was exiting the U.N. building in New York, Chavez told reporters that Bush is not a legitimate president because he “stole the elections.”

“He is, therefore, a dictator,” Chavez said.

During a stop in Harlem on Thursday, Chavez said he has no quarrel with the American people.

“We are friends of yours, and you are our friends,” he said.

Underscoring his point, he announced he is expanding his heating-oil program to help impoverished Americans from 40 million gallons last year to 100 million gallons this year, and from 180,000 families to 459,000 families.

But in the heart of Rangel’s congressional district, he blasted away at Bush for a second day.

“He walks like this cowboy John Wayne,” said Chavez. “He doesn’t have the slightest idea of politics. He got where he is because he is the son of his father. He was an alcoholic, an ex-alcoholic. He’s a sick man, full of complexes, but very dangerous now because he has a lot of power.”

Chavez, clad in a fire-engine-red shirt, called Bush a “menace” and a “threat against life on the planet.”

Amen to that.
