Reply #14: the comment was of marginal importance to an excellent speech on empire [View All]

In some ways, the RW media is lucky he said it, because it gives them something to spin (like Rove saying the memo about Bush's ANG service was typed in a font that didn't exist at the time).

But if Chavez hadn't made that comment, the speech would have been totally ignored, and at least the coverage means that people might read the whole speech....which was EXCELLENT!
