The move comes only days after Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, whom we just heard, addressed the United Nations in a speech that derided US President George W. Bush for being \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the devil.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Chavez also recommended Noam Chomsky\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s book, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hegemony or Survival\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for Americans to read \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which skyrocketed to the top of Amazon.com\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sales ranking as a result and prompted the New York Times to interview Chomsky. In his speech, Chavez challenged the Bush administration\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s military based democracy promotion around the world, and suggested new ideas for reforming the United Nations. Predictably the mainstream corporate media heard only the remarks calling Bush the devil. Democrat Charles Rangel took offense, saying \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t come to the United States and think, because we have problems with our president, that any foreigner can come to our country and not think that Americans do not feel offended when you offend our chief of state.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi who called Chavez \u00e2\u20ac\u0153an everyday thug.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Meanwhile Ecuadoran presidential candidate Rafael Correa responded \u00e2\u20ac\u0153calling Bush the devil is offending the devil \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 the devil is evil, but intelligent.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Venezuela is currently up against Guatemala in the race for the rotating UN Security Council seat.
