Is Chavez mad??

I mean, he's now saying his government will take legal action against Pat Robertson for calling for his assassination and might even seek to extradite him.

He went so far as to threaten to involve the UN if the US fails to take action (well, he must not have gotten the memo about John Bolton's recess appointment to the UN -- I'm sure Johnny B. will perform his duties and make it all go away.)

"I announce that my government is going to take legal action in the United States... to call for the assassination of a head of state is an act of terrorism," Mr Chavez said in a televised speech.

"If the US government does not take [the] action that it must take, we will go to the United Nations and the Organization of American States to denounce the US government," Mr Chavez said.

Mr Chavez, who has frequently charged that the US are plotting to kill him, said Mr Robertson was "crazy" and "a public menace".

How dare he insult one of our beloved televangelists? He even has the audacity to hold Bush accountable for something:

The Venezuelan leader has said that US President George W Bush will be to blame if he is attacked.

What gall!
