Hugo Chavez proved just how out of touch he is this week by calling Hillary Clinton “a blonde Condoleezza.” Wrong historical reference, Hugo. Think Evita instead.

Reuters has the misogynistic details:

Venezuela’s President Hugo mocked U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday as a “blond” version of her predecessor, and said a row with Spain over alleged links with rebel groups was over.

Visiting Latin America this week, Clinton said the Obama administration’s policies towards the region were helping blunt the criticism of the United States by leftist leaders like Chavez.

“To me, she’s like Condoleezza Rice … a blond Condoleezza,” said the Venezuelan, referring to former U.S. president George W. Bush’s secretary of state, with whom he exchanged frequent harsh words at long-distance.

Citing comments by Clinton in Brazil, Chavez said she was proving to be equally aggressive. “She comes to Brazil to provoke us, to try and divide us from our brothers.”

Just remember one thing, Hugo. The blonde is from a bottle. If you really wanted to be accurate you would have said Hillary is “a gray Condoleezza.”

OH MY GOD!!! I just watched a video on youtube that was flagged as “Invalid Arguments”. It was just some conservative guy’s video of nothing but quotes from senators, congressmen, news anchors, and Mr. Prez himself. I relly think that this is truly dangerous.
See the video here and decide for yourself:

I was completely dumbfounded when I saw the banner at the top, which read, “Invalid Arguments”

I disagree with most of the opinions in the video, but the fact that youtube would flag something as “invalid arguments” is ridiculous to me.
