Rangel rebukes Chavez on Bush
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez took his Bush-bashing to Harlem yesterday and earned a stiff rebuke from the New York district's congressman, Rep. Charles B. Rangel, who is no fan of President Bush."You don't come into my country, you don't come into my congressional district and criticize my president," Mr. Rangel, a Democrat, told stunned reporters on Capitol Hill.
Mr. Rangel, who is one of Mr. Bush's harshest critics, said no foreign official should assume that "Americans do not feel offended when you offend our chief of state." Washington Times
The remainder of this story indicates the Democrats are trying to distance them selves from Chavez.
Except for Sen. Tom Harkin, Iowa Democrat, who defended Mr. Chavez in an interview with Radio Iowa.
Though the remarks were "incendiary," Mr. Harkin said, "I can understand the frustration, and the anger of certain people around the world because of George Bush's policies." FREEDOM EDEN: Sulfur by Any Other Name...

Good on Rangel......and any other Democrat who actually spoke up in support of the Presidency, if not the President.
That said, am I the only one who is shocked the entire Republican Party has said little to nothing about it?
