Chavez: "I hope Merkel doesn't tell me to shut up"

08:11 H | Topics: Controversia - Germany - Latin America - Politics - Venezuela - World

Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez said yesterday that he hopes the German president, Angela Merkel -- with whom he currently has a rather thorny relationship -- doesn't tell him to shut his trap when they cross paths at the Latin American-European Summit this week:

I hope it doesn't occur to her to repeat King Juan Carlos de Borbón's expression if we end up coinciding at a roundtable or some other place."
For the benefit of us all, let's see that clip again...

My favorite part is around 0:40 when the king goes "Tú!" and points at Chávez as if you say "your number's up, buddy!"

Somehow that doesn't sound like Merkel's style to me. I can't wait to see what Chavez does when he sees her.
