#1 She should have snubbed him. The insult was personal, and public.

#2 I agree...if by 'snub' you mean slapping his face and challenging him to a duel.

#3 A simple "FOAD" in German would have been an appropriate response to the Venezuelian Little Big man for Merkel.

#4 I told her that I was sorry if Id been harsh,

Snidely insinuating she deserved it. This guy needs putting in his place badly.

#5 If he ever leaves office, I expect that he will be able to parley his personality into a reality show.

Then again maybe that's what he is doing already. He does need some skenks for rating purposes. Bridgette is probably available. Demonstrably, she'll kiss anything.

#7 My 3 year old daughter liked his berry turtlekneck and overshirt combo - she asked if I would let her watch Barney.

On the whole his ensemble lacked bling - chains needed possibly grill work. Also the lack of skeeve ho's is a horrible mistake. Anybody who has flipped through Univision knows that plenty of skeeve ho's are avaiable and necessary for success in the Latino television medium.

On the whole I rate his performance a 3 - his clips won't even make The Soup, and Suzanne Sommers and some old camping dude on te show Dutch Oven make The Soup on alternating weeks. I feel confident in saying that if Che were alive today, his show would have plenty of gold, adequate sluts and would have been picked up by the E network at a mimimum. More likely MTV in prime-time.

#9 Chavez should apologize for stealing oxygen from the rest of us.

And stop doing it.
