CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez told Prime Minister Tony Blair to "go right to hell" on Wednesday after Blair said Venezuela should abide by the principles of democracy.

Chavez, a fiery leftist who recently compared U.S. President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler, accused Blair of bowing to Washington's interests and being "shameless" and "immoral."

"Stay in your place, Mr. Blair, you are not one that has the morality to criticise anyone," Chavez said during a speech. "Venezuela is a free nation. Do you believe we're still in times of imperialism and colonialism?"

"Go right to hell, Mr. Blair," Chavez said, using local slang that is more vulgar.

2. Hugo isn't one to mince words is he?

:)

Blair is a great disappointment. That guy could have been great at one time. Now he's little more than Bush's lap dog.

5. No person in the governments of GB or US has any right or any

standing to lecture anyone on democracy and freedom! This old Anglo-American paternalism is sickening, repugnant. Blair is as big an embarrassment to Brits as Bush is the us...

I support Chavez more and more. He is the best modern model of democratic leadership as far as I am concerned...
