where's the big red nose and huge shoes?

It is, of course, difficult to take George Bush seriously sometimes. But Hugo Chavez... man that guy's a straight up clown. I rate him up there with the crazies running Iran and the more rabid of the Islamic ranters. Are we supposed to take these people seriously? I don't see how a thinking, rational person can sit and listen to them without wondering "What the fuck?". And i think it's beyond politics. I think there's a point where you have to look at some world leader or another and throw a bottle of Prozac in their direction. Everyone pretty much discounts Jerry Falwell and Not-So-Reverend Phelps, y'know, we listen to them and think, "jesus, what a crazy motherfucker", but these other loose nuts, they get defended and have their own cadre of blind, delusional apologists. I don't understand.
