“Yesterday, the devil came here,” Mr. Chávez said, alluding to Mr. Bush’s appearance before the General Assembly on Tuesday. “Right here. Right here. And it smells of sulfur still today, this table that I am now standing in front of.”
Then Mr. Chávez made the sign of the cross, brought his hands together as if in prayer and glanced toward the ceiling.
And,
“Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the president of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world. Truly. As the owner of the world.”
I can't offer much analysis (really, do I need to?), but I will say that if he's saying it, others are feeling it. Bush has burned a lot of bridges and we're getting ever closer to paying the price for it.

I enjoyed the CBS News headline "Chavez catches hell for calling Bush devil".
That was quite funny. Ah, who says politics is boring?
