The Venezuela "Referendum"
Power Line's John Hinderaker searches for perspective in the wake of the Venezuelan "referendum,"; idiots may want to listen in and (I know this is hard) think:
Question for idiots: How's that whole "Bush is violating my freedoms" thing working for ya these days? 'Cause if it's all still weighing on you, you can always redeploy into Hugo Chavez's freedom-loving arms.
Sweet, fluffy Chavez freedom.
Here's a thought experiment: imagine that George Bush offered a proposal to allow himself an unlimited number of terms; to take Presidential control over the Federal Reserve; to create new states (Central California, Upstate New York, Western Pennsylvania) governed by appointees of President Bush; and to allow himself to expand his Presidential powers by declaring an "emergency." Do you suppose the BBC would call those proposals "reforms"? No, I don't think so either.Looks as if Venezuelans don't think so either. Whatever will Danny and Kevin and Harry and Sean say?
