Venezuela tells McCain "go to hell" for wackos jibe

http://go.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=domesticNews&storyID=10941964&src=rss/domesticNews


Venezuela's vice president on Monday told top U.S. Republican Sen. John McCain he could "go to hell" for suggesting that "wackos" were governing the oil-producing South American country.

Commenting on U.S. reliance on foreign oil supplies, McCain told Fox News Sunday, "We better understand the vulnerabilities that our economy and our very lives have ... when we're dependent on Iranian mullahs and wackos in Venezuela."

"Maybe he has got nothing to do over there in the United States," he said.

-snip-

U.S. officials dismiss that as populist rhetoric.....

McCain is so busy destroying america it's a wonder he has time to diss Venezuela

5. My exact thought.
Dependent = as in Desperately dependent. Like a junkie, looking for the next 'fix'.

2. i saw that sunday and i posted a thread about it yesterday. if a
mcCain wants to be president he should be a little more diplomatic in what he says about foreign leaders. Jesus H. Christ -- he'll have us in WW III.

i just hope the people who like McCain wake up and smell the coffee.
