chavezhabe.jpgU.S. President Bush continues his goodwill tour of Latin America. He hugged Lula, talked trade with Uruguay, and practically ran through Colombia as protesters burned U.S. flags. Today Bush lands in Guatemala where he plans to talk about poverty. Meanwhile Venezuelan President and Bush arch-enemy, Hugo Chavez is touring the places Bush isn't. In Argentina he sort of took back his statements made at the U.N earlier this year when he called Bush a devil who smelled of sulfur.

In the rally in Argentina, Chavez called Bush a "political cadaver" and said he didn't smell like sulfur anymore. That's probably not the sort of apology Bush was looking for but oh well.

Chavez continued his tour in Bolivia with pal Evo Morales, showing love to victims of El Nino storm flooding.
