Hmm, the aristocratically imposed King of one country tells the democratically elected leader of another country off, and the supposedly democratic Americans applaud.

Probably a thread for Speaker's Corner.

Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I'm afraid "supposedly", is the operative word here. As for Chavez....voting with a gun to your head or being afraid to vote, for fear of death....isn't my definition of a democracy.

My apologies, folks....failed to notice it was already posted. They're shootin' me at sundown....might even make You-Tube!

I guess that's less democratic than having your brother rig the election for you.

And look at the level of incompetence that came with it.... shame on all of you who got fooled into voting for this train wreck that has denigrated our country in the eyes of the world.

Ever notice that when Chavez smiles, he looks like Kim Jong Il?

You are missing the context of the diatribe. In a forum, where Zapatero was having his alloted time, was very respectfully requesting that Chavez needed to respect the audience, and other's countries democratically elected figures, as himself, and not to resort on name calling, and childish games. Chavez kept interrupting, Juan Carlos I asked him to shut up. Chavez kept making an ass of himself in an Iberoamerican conferences. Many interesting points were being worked in that conference.

By the way, did you actually know that Chavez was illegally elected in Venezuela. The 1961 Venezuelan constitution did not allow him to go to the ballot, yet he could circle the law and get elected. Clicky

It is funny how someone who cries "but you tried to support a coup de tat against me" actually tried once in 1992????

OK, I think I see the context now

Oh if Gore had only won his own state of Tennessee. Or even just Arkansas...
Either way, Florida going to Bush would've been moot. Very simple.

So much for rigging an election.

Sorry about the no nads comment. If I have looked at your profile before I would have realized you really do not have any (figurativly speaking of course)

His presence at that panel is evidence to the contrary of your statement.

Kings may not wield the "true" power per se, but they are very influential to this day in many of the western "democracies" in Europe, to the point that their form of government is still that of a "Constitutional Monarchy", which includes, Spain, UK, Belgium, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Other nations as well, Japan, Thailand, and Cambodia to name a few.

The mere fact that the societies of these countries hold these traditions so dear is political power for these "ceremonial" positions.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but to write it off is to miss part of a bigger picture.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

I think you overestimate their influence.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the last ceremonial links between Royalty and Government in the UK well and truly severed, but I wouldn't say that old Liz really has any effect on the policies of the government.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I thought Zapatero was being polite in his admonishment, and it was silly of Chavez to talk over him like that.

I also couldn't help but notice, and thought it was a bit amusing, that Morales was seated at the complete opposite end of the panel from Chavez. (or is seating alphabetical by country?)
