Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez is spittin’ mad at Europe for daring criticize his plans to change the constitution to allow for his re-election ad nauseum. He’s calling Europeans out country by country as “cynical” and hypocritical. Venezuelan daily El Universal reports:

“Europe is the queen of cynicism. They are making a big deal because we are here proposing that the people decide on a figure that has existed in Europe for centuries,” said Chavez in his Sunday radio and TV program ¡Aló Presidente! N° 291.

Chavez was referring to the fact that “government without limit” is still valid in many a European country, among them Italy, France, Germany and Portugal.

Better late then never. The New York Times and other news sources are reporting that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned his post. The official announcement is expected later today after (according to Univision news that I have on now) Gonzales and his wife lunch with President Bush. Gonzales, the first Latino to serve as Attorney General, has been haunted by scandal around the firings of 8 U.S. Attorneys and his abysmal record on civil rights. I guess after being caught in his lies he figured his time had come.

Chau bacalao!
