Am I the only one who’s not surprised when Hugo Chavez runs his mouth? Apparently, Vicente Fox is surprised — and unhappy — about recent comments made by Chavez with regard to the brand-spanking new president of Mexico:

Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez reiterated Sunday in Caracas that his government “does not recognize the president elect of Mexico” who he said “represents a desperate extreme right which appeals to all sorts of dirty tricks”, although “it’s difficult to see them hail victory”.

“We do not recognize the government of Mexico or its president elect because many strange things happened their (sic)”, said Chavez interviewed by the Latinamerican television Telesur.

Chavez recalled that president elect Felipe Calderon and “the desperate right”, blasted against him during the (Mexican) electoral campaign with the purpose of presenting left wing candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador as “Satan”.

Fox is calling Chavez’s comments “butting in” and vows not to meet with the Venezuelan leader at UN meetings this week.
