Hugo Chavez was a charasmatic leader who was concerned only about perception.
His comments towards GWB were reckless. A world leader can strongly dissagree without resorting to sophomoric banter.

But it's difficult to look a gift-horse in the mouth, as they say.
Joe Kennedy, despite he and his families perpetual hypocrisy, does a lot of good with his oil program.
Sure, he and his wife rake in 6 figure salaries from this "charity". But thousands have benefitted.
He's a leach and a scoundrel. But he knows that dragging the oil hose to the low income duplex is equal to a thousand photo-ops doling out extra gravy at the homeless shelter thanksgiving dinner.

George W Bush and Barack Obama have done a far better job at fundamentally changing the US government than any communists ever did!

Don't worry, critter has been trained to kill them too.
